Blue Blade Katana in High Manganese Steel with Teal Handle and Blue Lacquer Saya
- Forged from high manganese steel, the blue-finished blade features a visible hamon line and a distinctive wave engraving along the flat - a dramatic detail that sets this katana apart from standard display pieces.
- Full-tang construction runs the blade steel continuously through the hardwood handle core, ensuring solid structural integrity from tip to pommel across the full 41-inch overall length.
- The teal silk cord tsuka-ito is hand-wrapped over PU white samegawa in a traditional diamond pattern, creating strong contrast against the gold fuchi fitting and black-and-gold geometric iron tsuba.
- A black circular tsuba with geometric cutouts and a gold-tone fuchi frames the transition between blade and handle, adding visual depth and a classic koshirae-style aesthetic.
- The hardwood saya is finished in deep blue natural lacquer with a speckled texture, paired with a two-tone blue-and-brown sageo cord tied at the kurikata for a cohesive, gallery-worthy presentation.
- Overall length 41 inches, shipping weight 4 lb - designed for display and collection, complete koshirae fittings included.

Product Details
The blade is forged from high manganese steel and finished in a deep blue polish that runs from habaki to tip. A crisp hamon line traces the edge, and a hand-applied wave engraving decorates the flat of the blade, giving the steel a sense of motion even at rest. The result is a visually arresting piece that highlights the craftsmanship behind a properly finished manganese steel blade.
The tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped with PU white samegawa, then hand-laced with teal cord in a tightly spaced diamond pattern. The white samegawa shows cleanly through each opening, creating a high-contrast grid that gives the handle both texture and a distinct color identity. Two matching teal menuki are seated beneath the wrap at traditional positions.
The tsuba is a black circular iron guard with geometric cutout windows - an open lattice design that frames the blade base while keeping the silhouette clean. A polished gold-tone fuchi collar sits between tsuba and handle wrap, tying the metalwork together with a warm accent against the cooler blue-and-teal palette. If you enjoy exploring different tsuba styles, browse the Dark Blue Rayskin Saya Japanese Samurai Swords collection for additional koshirae combinations.
The saya is crafted from hardwood and finished with a premium natural lacquer in deep cobalt blue, showing subtle speckle texture across the surface that catches light differently at each angle. A two-tone blue-and-brown sageo cord is tied at the kurikata, with the knotwork left visible as a decorative element at the mouth of the scabbard. For other pieces in this steel family, the Blue Blade Manganese Steel Katana collection offers close variants worth comparing.
At 41 inches overall and 3 lb, this katana is sized for full display on a wall mount or stand. Full-tang construction, complete koshirae fittings, and a blue lacquer saya make this a coherent, finished piece suited for serious collectors and display-focused enthusiasts alike. Sword stand not included.
