Product Details

The blade is forged from manganese steel and finished in a deep black tone, stretching 28.74 inches with a hardness of 58 HRC. A bold raging fire style hamon pattern runs along the cutting edge in contrasting silver, giving the steel a dramatic visual presence. The full tang construction extends through the handle for structural integrity, and the edge comes hand-finished. Among Black Steel Katana options, this piece stands out for its aggressive hamon styling.

The tsuka measures 10.23 inches and is built on a hardwood core wrapped in white rayskin beneath tightly wound black cotton cord. The ito creates a classic diamond wrap pattern with the white rayskin visible between each crossover, offering reliable grip texture and a strong black-and-white visual contrast.

At the junction of blade and handle sits a black alloy tsuba with an intricate snake-themed openwork design - curving organic shapes cut through the guard to create depth and shadow. A gold-tone habaki collar sits just below the tsuba, adding a warm metallic accent that breaks up the monochrome palette.

The saya is crafted from hardwood and coated in piano lacquer, producing a glossy, mirror-like black surface that runs 30.7 inches. A black and white sageo cord is tied at the kurikata, matching the handle's color scheme and keeping the overall design visually unified. This scabbard shares the refined finish found across Handwood Scabbard Ninjato.

With an overall length of 40.94 inches and a weight of 4.4 lbs, this katana carries real heft and traditional proportions. The combination of black-finished steel, fire-pattern hamon, snake openwork tsuba, and high-gloss saya makes it a striking collectible piece for display or themed collections.
