Full Tang Manganese Steel Katana with Gear Tsuba in Brown Hardwood Saya - Hamon Blade

The blade on this katana is forged from manganese steel and hand-polished to a chrome-bright finish, with a clearly defined hamon line tracing the length of the cutting edge. A distinctive serrated-pattern spine detail adds visual depth that catches light from every angle. At 41 inches overall and 3 lbs, the proportions are well-suited for koshirae display and serious collectors who appreciate traditional Japanese sword construction.

The tsuka is wrapped in brown cotton ito cord over a black ray-skin base, arranged in the classic diamond-pattern wrap. Gold-toned menuki accent pieces are visible through the wrap openings, adding a subtle warm contrast to the brown and black color scheme. The handle assembly is secured by a full tang that runs the complete length of the grip.

The tsuba is the most visually striking element of this piece - a bold black gear-shaped design with a geometric tooth pattern around its circumference. It is paired with a copper-toned fuchi collar that transitions cleanly between the guard and the tsuka wrap. This combination of black iron and warm copper tones gives the sword a distinctive character within the Traditional Katana category.

The saya is shaped from natural hardwood with the grain texture left visible, presenting a warm medium-brown tone that complements the handle wrap. A brown braided sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata with a layered wrap, adding an authentic finishing detail. The kojiri tip and koiguchi collar are finished in black to frame the natural wood. This piece is part of our Brown Saya Japanese Samurai Swords collection.

Packaged in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box at a shipping weight of 4 lbs. Note: sword stand or holder is not included.
