Product Details
The blade is forged from manganese steel and finished to a bright chrome polish, with a visible hamon line tracing the length of the edge. The differential hardening process creates the characteristic contrast between the hardened edge zone and the softer spine, giving this katana both visual depth and structural integrity.
The tsuka is built on a wooden core covered in PU samegawa and wrapped in black cord. The diamond pattern sits evenly from butt to collar, with no gaps or loose sections - a detail that reflects the care put into the handle construction. A gold habaki seats cleanly between tsuka and tsuba, anchoring the blade securely in the koshirae.
The tsuba is one of the most distinctive elements of this katana. Cast in iron with a blue finish, it features an openwork cloud motif - curved, flowing cutouts that reference traditional Japanese cloud imagery. The blue tone pairs sharply with the gold habaki below and the black tsuka above, creating a color progression that rewards close inspection.

The black leather saya carries an embossed dragon relief across its full length - scaled texture worked directly into the surface rather than painted on. A black-and-white braided sageo ties at the kurigata in an intricate knotwork pattern, adding a graphic contrast element against the all-black saya body. The two-tone cord echoes the chrome blade and blue tsuba without disrupting the overall dark aesthetic.
Packaged at 43 inches in length with a shipping weight of 3 lb, this katana is built for display and collection in koshirae style. The combination of blue cloud tsuba, dragon-embossed leather saya, and black-white sageo gives it a consistent visual identity that stands apart from standard all-black configurations.
