Nodachi Sword 1095 Carbon Steel Dark Red Blade with Vine Engraving, Brown Hardwood Saya, Chrysanthemum Tsuba

The blade on this nodachi is forged from 1095 carbon steel and finished in a deep dark red lacquer, with a hand-engraved vine pattern that winds from the base of the nagasa toward the tip. A distinct hamon line traces the edge, giving the steel visual depth that rewards close inspection. At 41 inches overall and 3 lb, it carries the imposing scale expected of a Japanese Nodachi Sword while remaining manageable for display mounting.

The tsuka is wrapped in brown cord with a textured, layered pattern and secured by gold-tone fuchi and kashira fittings. The handle construction is full tang, meaning the steel runs uninterrupted from tip to pommel - no joinery to compromise structural integrity along the grip.

The tsuba is cast iron finished in black with raised gold chrysanthemum relief work on both faces. This koshirae-style fitting is classic in form and stays visually consistent with the warm gold hardware used throughout the rest of the mountings.

The saya is shaped from natural hardwood and finished in the same deep brown tone as the handle, unifying the overall color palette. Black-and-gold sageo band fittings accent the scabbard at the koiguchi and kurikata, and the brown braided sageo cord terminates in a decorative tassel. For collectors building out a Brown Odachi display, the warm brown-and-gold palette reads consistently from every angle.

Overall length is 41 inches, weight is 3 lb, and the package ships at 43 x 4 x 4 inches weighing 4 lb. No sword stand is included. This piece is intended for collection display and does not include a stand or wall mount.
