Manganese Steel Katana with Copper Blade, Brown Ito Wrap and Olive Green Lacquer Saya

The blade on this katana is forged from manganese steel and finished with a deep copper tone that shifts in light - warm and burnished toward the spine, bright and clean along the hand-finished edge. A clearly defined hamon line traces the transition between edge and body, giving the blade visual movement that catches the eye from tip to habaki. Full tang construction runs the steel through the entire handle length.

The tsuka is wrapped in brown cotton ito over black PU samegawa, following the traditional diamond-pattern binding used in classical Japanese koshirae assembly. Gold-toned menuki are set beneath the wrap at the gripping points, their forms visible through the ito without interrupting the clean diagonal pattern. The result is a warm, earthy handle profile that reads well against the copper blade.

The tsuba is a round, black iron piece with a carved swirl design - minimal and bold, letting the blade and handle carry the visual weight. The habaki and fuchi are finished to complement the overall copper-and-brown color scheme without adding visual clutter.

The saya is lacquered hardwood in a vivid olive green, a color choice that anchors the warm copper and brown tones of the mounted blade. A brown sageo cord is tied at the koiguchi in a traditional knot, with a jade-green ojime bead adding a single accent of contrast.

Overall length is 41 inches with a shipping weight of 5 lbs. The koshirae-style assembly - copper blade, brown ito, black iron tsuba, and olive lacquer saya - makes this a strong centerpiece for a themed sword display or a focused addition to a classical Japanese sword collection. Sword stand not included.
