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 Carbon Steel 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.
