Blue Blade Manganese Steel Katana with Hand-Painted Geisha Saya in White and Floral Copper Tsuba

This katana features a full tang manganese steel blade finished in a striking deep blue tone. Hardened to 58 HRC, the 28.74-inch nagasa delivers a refined edge with solid rigidity across its entire length. The blue coloring runs uniformly from the kissaki to the habaki, giving the blade a bold, modern visual identity that stands out in any collection.

The 10.23-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped in white PU samegawa, then bound tightly with blue cotton cord in a traditional diamond pattern. The white and blue pairing creates a clean, high-contrast grip section that complements the blade's deep blue tone. Dual menuki sit beneath the wrap for added texture and a secure hold.

At the junction of blade and handle sits a real copper tsuba finished in a warm gold tone. The guard features a raised floral motif on its face, with a small three-dimensional sakura blossom accent and what appears to be a family crest engraving on the kashira end. These details tie the piece to traditional Japanese metalwork aesthetics while adding visual depth.

The 30.7-inch hardwood saya is coated in white piano lacquer, producing a smooth, glossy surface. A hand-painted geisha illustration in black ink covers the lower half of the scabbard, depicting a figure in traditional dress surrounded by flowing patterns. A blue sageo cord is tied at the kurikata, matching the handle wrap and tying the entire color scheme together. Browse more Blue Cord Handle Japanese Samurai Swords to explore similar styled pieces.
