Product Details

The blade on this katana is forged from manganese steel and finished in a deep navy blue, with a hand-ground wave hamon that traces a jagged, surf-like line along the entire length. The interplay between the polished silver edge bevel and the blue spine gives the Blue Wave Theme Blade Katana its signature visual rhythm - every angle catches light differently.

The tsuka is shaped from brown hardwood and left unwrapped, letting the natural wood grain read cleanly from pommel to guard. A bronze kashira caps the butt end, matching the warm metal tone carried through the fittings. The full-tang construction anchors blade to handle for structural integrity across the full 41-inch overall length.

The bronze tsuba is round with a geometric lattice relief cut into its face, surrounded by a layered ring collar. The antique brass finish shows deliberate tooling marks and depth, giving it a hand-worked character that suits the koshirae style mounting.

The saya is lacquered hardwood finished in a white marble texture - fine grey veining spreads across the surface in a crackle pattern that reads almost like stone. A black-and-white braided sageo cord ties at the kurigata with a structured knot, and a small amber bead is set into the cord tie for a touch of warm color against the white ground. This piece is part of our White Katana Sword collection for collectors drawn to high-contrast saya finishes.

At 3 lb and 41 inches total length, this katana ships in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box at 4 lb. Sword stand or holder is not included.
