Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from manganese steel and finished in a deep matte black, preserving a hand-polished bright edge along the cutting bevel. A wave engraving runs the length of the spine, carved into the darkened surface to create contrast and movement. The visible hamon line traces the temper boundary, adding authentic detail to the overall profile. At 41 inches overall with a full tang construction, the piece carries 3 lbs in a well-balanced configuration suited to extended display or handling. For collectors drawn to the dark aesthetic, this piece sits naturally alongside other entries in the Black Blade Samurai Sword range.
The tsuka is wrapped in white cotton ito using a traditional diamond-over-diamond pattern, with black same (ray skin) visible through each opening. The pale wrapping creates a deliberate contrast against the blackened blade and dark fittings. Menuki accents are set beneath the ito at handle position, adding grip reference and visual interest without interrupting the wrap geometry.
The tsuba is cast in a chrysanthemum form - a wide circular disc with a fluted petal rim in gold tone. Relief work across both faces includes figural motifs at center, and the overall finish reads as aged brass under direct light. Fuchi and kashira fittings carry coordinating gold-tone hardware to unify the handle assembly.
The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in gloss black lacquer. Five round gold-tone kamon medallions are set along the outer face at even intervals, each bearing a geometric sealwork pattern. The black sageo cord ties at the kurigata in a traditional knot. The full koshirae assembly gives the piece a formal, gallery-ready presentation. Collectors building a black-and-gold themed display will find this pairs well with other pieces in the Black Scabbard Katana collection.
Dimensions: overall length 41 inches, weight 3 lbs. Ships in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch package at 4 lbs. Sword stand not included.
