Product Details

This full tang katana features a 28.74-inch manganese steel blade finished in a deep blue tone with a prominent hamon line running along the edge. Hardened to 58 HRC, the blade holds a hand-finished edge and carries a bold visual presence that sets it apart from standard polished steel. The blue coloring extends across the flat of the blade, contrasting sharply with the bright edge bevel visible at the kissaki.

The 10.23-inch handle is built on a hardwood core wrapped in white real rayskin, then bound tightly with blue cotton ito in a traditional diamond pattern. Silver-tone menuki accent the grip beneath the wrap, and the kashira cap features an engraved floral motif in darkened alloy, completing the handle assembly with clean detail.

At the guard, a black alloy tsuba presents a snake-themed openwork design surrounded by a scalloped rim. A gold-tone habaki collar sits between the tsuba and blade, providing both a visual anchor and a snug fit within the saya. This combination of gold and black hardware adds a layered contrast to the overall blue theme.

The 30.7-inch hardwood saya is finished in piano lacquer over a black base flecked with red and white speckles, creating a subtle starfield effect. A blue sageo cord is tied at the kurikata in a traditional knot, tying the scabbard visually to the handle wrap. The kojiri endcap is finished in matching dark alloy.
