Product Details

The blade on this katana is forged from manganese steel and finished in a deep blue that runs from the habaki to the kissaki. A defined hamon line traces the edge, creating a sharp visual contrast between the polished lower bevel and the blue body above - a signature detail of the raging fire style finish. The hand-finished edge is shaped to proper katana geometry with a clean kissaki tip. If you are drawn to Dark Blue Samurai Sword designs, this blade color is a textbook example of the style.

The tsuka is built with a full-tang core wrapped in black ito cord over yellow same - the stingray panels show through the diamond gaps in a gold-on-black pattern that carries through the entire koshirae. The wrapping is tight and even, with no loose sections at the pommel or collar. A gold-toned menuki sits at the fuchi, anchoring the handle's color story.

The tsuba is a round iron plate cast in black, with chrysanthemum blossoms carved in relief across both faces. The motif is cleanly executed - petals and stems read clearly without crowding the mekugi-ana. A compact gold-finished seppa sits between the tsuba and fuchi, bridging the black iron and the black-gold handle with a deliberate accent.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in a smooth matte black lacquer. The surface carries a subtle texture that catches light differently from every angle, giving the scabbard visual depth without added color. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata, completing the all-black saya in traditional style. This piece fits naturally alongside other entries in the Samurai Sword Replica category.

Overall length measures 41 inches and total weight is 3 lb, packaged in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box with a shipping weight of 4 lb. The chrysanthemum tsuba, blue manganese steel blade, and black-gold koshirae combine into a cohesive set that rewards close inspection - a well-defined replica for collectors focused on traditional Japanese sword aesthetics. Sword stand is not included.

  • Manganese steel blade with a deep blue finish and a visible hamon line running the full length, giving the nagasa a striking two-tone appearance where the polished edge contrasts the blue body.
  • Full-tang construction wrapped in black ito over yellow same, forming the classic diamond pattern that defines traditional koshirae - the black-and-gold contrast is bold and immediately recognizable.
  • Round black iron tsuba features hand-carved chrysanthemum relief on both faces, with a gold-toned menuki seated at the tsuba collar adding an accent that ties the handle color scheme together.
  • Hardwood lacquer saya in matte black with a subtle textured surface, secured with a black sageo cord - the finish is smooth to the touch and built to protect the blade during storage and display.
  • Overall length 41 inches, total weight 3 lb - proportions follow standard katana geometry, making it a well-balanced replica suited for display or koshirae study.
