Manganese Steel Katana with Hamon Blade, Black Iron Wave Tsuba, Blue Ito & Black Hardwood Saya

The blade is forged from manganese steel and hand-finished to a high-gloss polish, with a visible hamon line tracing the edge from tip to habaki. The hamon's irregular, natural-looking pattern adds depth and character to the chrome surface, giving the blade a refined presence whether mounted or handled.

The tsuka is wrapped in blue cotton ito over PU white samegawa, with the classic diamond pattern exposing the textured underlayer at regular intervals. The ito is tightly wound and finished by hand, creating a grip that is both visually striking and secure in the hand. The handle's proportions are balanced to the 41-inch overall length of the sword.

The black iron tsuba carries a wave theme worked in textured relief across its surface - a motif drawn from traditional Japanese koshirae design. Its dark finish anchors the transition between blade and handle, and the gold-tone habaki collar provides a clean contrast at the fitting joint. For collectors drawn to Black Hardwood Japanese Samurai Swords, this tsuba-saya combination is a particularly cohesive pairing.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and coated in a gloss black lacquer finish that reflects light cleanly. A blue sageo cord is tied at the kurigata in a traditional knot, introducing the same blue accent from the handle down to the scabbard and completing the consistent two-tone color scheme throughout the koshirae. Collectors who appreciate coordinated blade furniture will also find strong options in the Blue Saya Japanese Samurai Swords category.

Total length is 41 inches and the sword weighs 4 lb, packaged in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box with a shipping weight of 5 lb. The sword stand is not included. This is a full koshirae katana built for collectors and enthusiasts who value consistent craftsmanship across blade, fittings, and scabbard.
