Product Details

The blade on this katana is forged from 1095 high-carbon steel and hand-finished to reveal a natural hamon line running along the edge. The hamon pattern varies slightly from piece to piece - a direct result of the hand-finishing process rather than a printed or etched effect. The chrome-polished surface contrasts with the darker textured areas near the spine, giving the blade a layered, worked appearance. For collectors interested in 1095 Katana Sword options, this piece represents a well-rounded entry with visible hamon detail.

The handle is built on a full-tang foundation, meaning the 1095 steel extends continuously from tip to pommel. PU white samegawa forms the base layer of the tsuka, providing grip texture beneath the wrap. Black ito cord is wound tightly over the samegawa in a traditional diamond lacing pattern, producing clean, evenly spaced nodes that sit flush against the handle without bulk.

At the junction between blade and handle sits an alloy tsuba cast in a dragon theme. The black base is accented with gold-tone raised relief, depicting the dragon motif across the rounded guard face. The fuchi, visible just above the tsuka wrap, carries a honeycomb-pattern alloy collar that bridges the guard and handle in a coordinated metallic finish.

The saya is constructed from hardwood and finished in a brown lacquer coating. The smooth, deep brown surface has a consistent sheen across its length. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurikata, and a small decorative ring accent finished in gold and silver tones is positioned near the koiguchi end - a detail visible in the close-up image. The 1095 Steel Samurai Sword collection includes comparable koshirae configurations for reference.

Overall length is 41 inches with a total weight of 5 lb and a shipping weight of 6 lb in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch package. The sword arrives without a display stand. The koshirae-style mounting with matched brown saya, black sageo, and dragon tsuba presents as a cohesive full set suited to wall display or collection shelving.

  • Forged from 1095 high-carbon steel, the blade features a hand-finished hamon line along the edge, giving each sword a distinct temper pattern unique to the individual piece.
  • Full-tang construction runs the steel continuously through the handle, providing solid structural integrity - the blade and handle move as one unified piece.
  • The alloy tsuba is cast in a dragon theme with black and gold tones, pairing a bold traditional motif with a two-tone metallic finish that anchors the koshirae aesthetic.
  • Black ito wraps tightly over PU white samegawa in a classic diamond pattern, creating a firm grip surface with strong visual contrast against the dark handle.
  • The brown hardwood saya is finished in lacquer and fitted with a black sageo cord and a gold-and-silver accent ring near the koiguchi, adding refined detail to the scabbard.
  • Overall length 41 inches, shipping weight 6 lb - sized and packaged for display mounting or shelf presentation without a stand included.

Frequently Asked Questions

What steel is used and does it have a real hamon?
The blade is forged from 1095 high-carbon steel and hand-finished to produce a visible hamon line along the edge. The pattern is a result of the finishing process, not an etched or printed effect, so it varies slightly between pieces.

Full-tang 1095 steel runs through the entire tsuka. The handle base uses PU white samegawa, wrapped in black ito cord in a diamond lacing pattern. A honeycomb-pattern alloy fuchi collar sits between the tsuba and the wrap.
What design details are on the tsuba and saya?
The alloy tsuba features a dragon motif in black with gold-tone raised relief. The saya is brown lacquered hardwood, fitted with a black sageo cord and a small gold-and-silver accent ring near the koiguchi for decorative detail.
