Product Details

The blade of this katana is forged from 1045 carbon steel and runs 27.5 inches from tip to habaki. Clay tempering draws out a visible hamon line along the edge, while hand-etched floral motifs trail down the darkened blade surface - a detail that rewards close inspection and sets this piece apart from plain-finished alternatives.

The tsuka measures 10.2 inches and is built over a full-tang steel core. White real rayskin samegawa forms the base layer, providing natural texture, and orange cord ito is hand-wrapped over it in the traditional diamond pattern. The round alloy tsuba is cast in a gold tone and engraved with a white floral and dragon design - bold enough to read at a distance, intricate enough to study up close.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in a uniform matte yellow lacquer that covers 30.3 inches of the scabbard body. A braided yellow sageo cord is looped and knotted at the koiguchi, adding a layer of visual warmth that matches the handle wrap and reinforces the cohesive yellow-and-gold color story across the entire piece.

At 41.5 inches overall and 3 lbs, the katana carries enough heft to feel substantial in hand without tipping into unwieldy territory. The weight distribution between the 27.5-inch blade and 10.2-inch handle lands in a range that makes single-hand presentation natural and comfortable.

The combination of a darkened engraved blade against bright yellow lacquer and gold-toned fittings creates an intentional visual contrast - one that suits wall display, themed collections, or as a statement piece alongside other Japanese-style decorative items. No stand is included.

  • 1045 carbon steel blade stretching 27.5 inches, clay-tempered with a hand-finished hamon line and floral engravings etched along the darkened surface for visual depth.
  • Full-tang construction pairs a 10.2-inch tsuka wrapped in orange cord over white real rayskin samegawa, delivering a secure grip with traditional layered texture.
  • Round alloy tsuba in gold tone features a white floral and dragon motif - a refined accent that bridges classical Japanese iconography with eye-catching metallic contrast.
  • Yellow hardwood saya finished in matte lacquer runs 30.3 inches and is secured with a braided yellow sageo cord tied in a decorative knot at the koiguchi.
  • Overall length of 41.5 inches with a weight of 3 lbs - proportioned for balanced display presentation and a substantial hand feel straight out of the box.

It looks nice. The styling and details are very clear and well done. It’s very intricate and looks clean. However, it is not the same shade as the pictures nor is the contrast as strong. The yellow in the blade and handle almost seem to pop in the pictures but in person it is more of a dull yellow that is closer to painted yellow (which is how they color the blade). The blade edge is also nonexistent; it is not sharp at all it’s essentially a wall hanger except for the tip. The tip is beefed up with additional material which is shaped nicely and reinforces it. The fit and finish is almost perfect. Nothing rattles and everything is tight and almost perfectly fitted. The only things that are not perfect are the sheath fit which is loose and the habaki. The habaki is right but isn’t flush as if it was forced on and around the blade instead of using a larger one so the back of the blade protrudes a noticeable amount from the habaki despite being tight. Overall, it looks and feels good. There are minor issues that are more quality of life then quality itself issues. For the price, I do expect better fitment but it’s still worth the price. The main issue is the lack of an edge which makes this beautiful painted object shaped as a sword instead of a sword that is beautiful. The lack of an edge is why it is getting three starts instead of four. 3/5

Purchased for my wife. Blade is very nice visually. Almost looks enchanted in the right light. All the attachments (tsuba/habaki/kobutogane/ect.) were fit together very tightly, the way I like. No rattle, even in the saya, which is impressive considering it was a low tier sword. The reason I give 4 stars is because the blade was sharpened unevenly and the sarute was tucked poorly into the kobutogane, an easy fix on the sarute, will take time on the edge. However, considering the price, I would definitely recommend TK to anyone looking. All things considered, Well done True Katana
