Product Details

The blade is forged from manganese steel and finished in a deep blue tone, with a hand-finished hamon line running along the edge that catches light against the polished flat. The result is a two-tone visual effect - steel-bright at the edge, blue across the flat - that gives this katana its most immediate point of distinction. At 41 inches overall and 3 lbs, the proportions follow standard katana form while the blue finish sets it clearly apart from natural steel pieces.

The handle is built on a hardwood core wrapped in white PU samegawa, then bound with blue cotton ito in a traditional diamond wrap pattern. The wrapping is tight and even, with the white underlayer visible through each opening to create the characteristic checkered rhythm along the tsuka. A small gold menuki sits recessed beneath the ito, adding a quiet metallic detail to the grip zone.

The tsuba is a round black iron piece with an openwork cutout pattern around the inner ring - a geometric design that reduces visual weight without sacrificing the structural presence of the guard. The fuchi and kashira carry a matching dark tone, keeping the hardware palette consistent from guard to pommel.

The saya is lacquered hardwood in gloss black, with gold vine scroll engraving applied across the lower third of the scabbard. The engraving is bold and fluid - wide curving lines rather than fine linework - which reads clearly even from a distance. A blue sageo cord in matching ito color ties at the kurigata, extending the blue-and-black color scheme from handle to saya. For more koshirae-style options with blue cord fittings, see our Blue Cord Handle Japanese Samurai Swords collection.

Packaged at 43 x 4 x 4 inches and 4 lbs shipping weight, this katana arrives ready for display. Sword stand not included.

  • Manganese steel blade finished in deep blue with a hand-finished hamon edge, combining striking visual contrast with solid edge retention across the full 41-inch length.
  • Full tang construction runs the blade continuously through the hardwood handle core, secured beneath blue cord wrapping over white PU samegawa for a firm, balanced grip.
  • Black iron tsuba features a round openwork design with cutout detailing - a clean, geometric accent that frames the transition between blade and handle.
  • Black hardwood lacquer saya is hand-engraved with flowing gold vine scroll patterns along the lower half, making the scabbard as visually refined as the blade it houses.
  • Blue sageo cord ties the presentation together, matching the tsuba wrap and handle ito for a unified color story across every component of this koshirae-style katana.
  • Overall length 41 inches, shipping weight 4 lbs - sized and proportioned for wall display, collection shelving, or cosplay reference use.
