Product Details

This daisho set pairs a katana and wakizashi forged from manganese steel, each blade clay tempered and finished in a deep blue tone that reveals a prominent white hamon line running the full length of the nagasa. Heat-treated to 58 HRC, the 28.74-inch katana blade holds a refined edge while the shorter wakizashi complements it in proportion and finish. The blue coloring over the steel gives both blades a dramatic, almost midnight appearance that shifts under different lighting.

Each tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped in blue PU samegawa, then bound tightly with black cotton ito in a traditional diamond pattern. The white same peeks through at intervals, and copper menuki sit beneath the cord for both visual accent and improved palm contact. At 10.23 inches, the katana handle provides a comfortable two-handed grip.

The tsuba on both swords is cast from real copper and finished in a striking dual-tone design - gold openwork lattice at the center surrounded by silver floral relief sculpting. The dimensional metalwork catches light beautifully and serves as the visual centerpiece connecting blade to handle.

Both saya are crafted from hardwood and coated in piano lacquer, featuring a distinctive blue crackle texture over a dark base that echoes the blade color. The sageo cord is braided in black and blue, knotted in traditional style around the kurikata. This coordinated color scheme ties the entire set together from tip to kashira. For collectors drawn to Blue Manganese Steel Wakizashi swords, this daisho offers the complete paired experience.

The katana measures 41 inches overall with the set weighing 4.4 lbs total. Every fitting - from the silver-gold fuchi-kashira to the braided sageo - follows a unified blue-black-gold palette. This daisho set captures the traditional samurai sword pairing in a cohesive display piece suited for collectors who appreciate coordinated craftsmanship across a matched pair.

  • Full tang manganese steel blades with a deep blue finish and visible hamon line, heat-treated to 58 HRC hardness for lasting edge retention across both katana and wakizashi.
  • Black cord ito wrap over blue PU samegawa on hardwood tsuka, providing a secure traditional grip with a striking black-and-blue color contrast on each sword.
  • Real copper tsuba in dual gold-and-silver tones featuring an intricate floral openwork motif, adding sculptural depth and a refined accent between blade and handle.
  • Hardwood saya finished in piano lacquer with a textured blue crackle pattern and black-blue braided sageo cord, creating a cohesive deep-blue visual theme across the set.
  • Katana overall length of 41 inches with a 28.74-inch nagasa, combined set weight of 4.4 lbs - a display-ready daisho pair capturing traditional samurai pairing proportions.

Honestly I was surprised by the quality. It's actually really sturdy and all the rope is snug to the handle and scabbard. The blade is also really nice. I definitely got what I paid for so when you're looking for your sword, just know you are gonna get what you pay for. 300-400 is probably the best range to look for a great budget sword.
