Product Details

Built around a 20.5-inch blade forged from 1095 carbon steel and hardened to 60 HRC, this katana delivers both visual impact and structural integrity. The chrome-finish blade carries engraved floral motifs and Japanese characters along the flat, giving it a presence that goes well beyond a plain polished surface. As part of the 1095 Katana collection, it represents the balance between accessible carbon steel and serious craftsmanship.

The 6.3-inch tsuka is wrapped in vivid purple cotton ito over black polyurethane leather samegawa, with diamond-shaped gaps revealing the underlayer in a traditional hineri-maki pattern. Silver-toned menuki sit beneath the cord, adding subtle texture under the hand.

At the junction of blade and handle, a sculpted alloy tsuba depicts a coiling dragon rendered in dark, antiqued silver tones. A copper-toned habaki locks snugly beneath it, providing both a color accent and a tight fit into the saya. The layered metallic palette - dark silver, copper, and chrome - gives the fittings real visual depth.

The black hardwood saya is coated in piano lacquer, producing a deep glossy surface that catches light cleanly. A purple sageo is tied at the kurikata with a decorative knot, and the saya mouth features a dark horn-style koiguchi. A small gemstone-like accent sits at the sageo knot, tying the purple-and-black theme together. This piece fits naturally among the Black Katana lineup.

At 41 inches overall and weighing 3 lbs, this katana is sized and balanced for display. The purple-and-black palette, engraved blade, and dragon tsuba make it a standout collectible - whether mounted on a wall or presented on a desk stand.

  • Forged from 1095 carbon steel with a hardness of 60 HRC, the blade features engraved floral patterns and Japanese characters along the shinogi-ji for a distinctive finish.
  • Purple cotton ito wraps the 6.3-inch tsuka over black polyurethane leather samegawa, delivering a bold color contrast and a secure textured grip.
  • Black hardwood saya finished in piano lacquer pairs with a matching purple sageo, creating a cohesive purple-and-black color scheme across the full 41-inch length.
  • Alloy tsuba features a sculpted dragon motif in dark silver tones with a copper-toned habaki seated beneath, adding layered metallic detail to the guard assembly.
  • Overall length of 41 inches with a blade length of 20.5 inches and a total weight of 3 lbs - includes sword and saya only, stand not included.

I have purchased several excellent swords from True Katana but this one truly outranks them all. For the price point, this one is an absolutely amazing value. The sword is tight, sharp and
flawlessly elegant. I cannot recommend this Katana highly enough. If you are looking for a sword, do yourself a favor and order this one - you will not be disappointed.

I love the sword, great quality for the price. Definitely would have given 5 stars but some of the black rubbed off immediately with the oil that came on the blade.

It's not quite the hot pink that my younger brother wanted, a deep purple actually, but he's going to love it regardless when he gets it for his birthday.

Very Excited when it arrived early! I was expecting the worst not going to lie. Like a good portion of it being plastic or some cheap metal. But to my surprise it's actually good quality! I love my katana and might purchase another one!
