Product Details
The blue blade is what sets this Ghost of Tsushima katana apart from every other replica on the market. In the game, Jin Sakai's sword changes visual tone depending on the scene - moonlit steel, storm-grey under clouded skies, and that unmistakable blue shimmer during Tsushima's night sequences. This replica captures that last look. The 1065 carbon steel blade is treated to produce a deep blue hue that shifts subtly under different lighting, giving the sword a quality that photographs can't fully convey.
The steel choice matters here. 1065 carbon steel sits in the sweet spot between toughness and hardness - higher carbon content than the 1045 used in most anime replicas, which means better edge retention and a blade that takes a finer finish. The full-tang construction through the hardwood handle provides the balance point that makes this feel like a functional blade rather than a display prop.
The rest of the sword stays faithful to the game's historical aesthetic. The black hardwood scabbard has a premium natural lacquer finish, the alloy tsuba features intricately carved patterns matching the game's design, and the white cord wrapping over black samegawa keeps the traditional samurai look intact. At 41 inches and 2.7 lbs, it's the standalone version - lighter than the katana-and-tanto set while delivering the same visual impact.
Buyers come back for this one. Francis switched to TrueKatana after waiting two months from another site and received his order quickly. Braden had been "eyeballing this one for a bit" before purchasing and is already planning more orders. Multiple reviewers describe it as "beautiful" - the word comes up in nearly every review - and the combination of blue blade against black scabbard is consistently praised as striking. One honest note: a small decorative piece came unglued from the sheath on one order, fixed easily with superglue.
This katana pairs with the Ghost of Tsushima tanto to form a traditional daisho display set. The katana-and-tanto bundle is also available for those who want both pieces together. Browse the manganese steel katana collection for more high-quality builds.
