Product Details

This katana features a full tang manganese steel blade hardened to 60 HRC, delivering a dense, resilient edge with a clean chrome-tone polish. The 12.5-inch nagasa tapers to a precise kissaki tip, and the hand-finished edge runs the full length of the curvature. Manganese steel offers solid wear resistance and holds its geometry well, making this a standout piece among Black Manganese Steel Katana collectors.

The 6.3-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped in white polyurethane leather samegawa, then bound tightly with green cotton ito in a traditional diamond pattern. A small gold-tone menuki is seated beneath the wrap, adding a subtle decorative detail visible through the cord gaps. The overall grip feel is firm and well-proportioned relative to the blade length.

Crowning the hilt is a gold-tone alloy tsuba with an elaborate openwork design of scrolling floral vines. At its center sits a green enamel kamon crest, echoing the green theme carried throughout the fittings. The gold finish is bright and reflective, contrasting sharply against the green ito and black saya.

The hardwood saya is finished in glossy black piano lacquer, giving it a deep, mirror-like surface. Multiple green kamon mon crests are inlaid along the body of the scabbard, spaced evenly for a refined, heraldic look. A green sageo cord is tied at the kurikata with a traditional knot, and the koiguchi features a polished black fitting for a snug blade fit.

At 41 inches overall and 1.5 lbs, this katana balances visual impact with manageable weight. The green and gold color scheme against the black lacquer saya creates a bold yet classical presentation that fits well alongside other Green Samurai Sword pieces. It ships in a protective box measuring 43 x 4 x 4 inches at a total shipping weight of 4 lbs.

  • Full tang manganese steel blade hardened to 60 HRC, hand-finished to a refined edge with a polished chrome-tone surface that catches light along the 12.5-inch nagasa

  • Black hardwood saya coated in piano lacquer with green kamon mon crests inlaid along its length, paired with a green sageo cord and polished black kurikata

This is the best thing I have spent my money with. Overall the craftsmanship is amazing. The detail on the handle is great, but the strings was slipping a bit, but still wonderful sword.

My only qualm is that the handguard is a little loose, but other than that everything is perfect. I will absolutely be ordering more katanas from here in the future.

Sword arrived in perfect condition and is a very beautiful piece.The steel is incredibly sharp and durable.I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Didn’t realize there would be any metal scabbards though, that doesn’t scream hand made or traditional Japanese Katana at all. I would really like to know if the more expensive ones are worth it. Only two out of the 5 swords I got were sharpened in any way. The rest seemed to just have false edges. That being said I did still like how 4 of them were made. The 3 swords with the wooden scabbards are pretty sweet! The green sword is my favorite. Tanto is my second favorite. Love the big hunk of metal that the machete is, just wish it was sharpened.
And the disappointment would be half and half the black and red sword with metal scabbard.
Had these all Ben sharpened properly, for the price I paid I would’ve said 5 stars.

The sword received was of very good quality based on its cost and was very well made. All parts were tight and properly fitted while blade was also straight and free of imperfections or manufacturing marks. I highly recommend regardless of intended level of tradition or price point as you will surely get a product that exceeds your requirements and expectations.
