Product Details
The obsidian katana opens with a 28.34-inch blade forged from 1060 carbon steel, heat-treated to 60 HRC. The entire blade surface carries a deep black finish that absorbs light rather than reflecting it, giving the edge a stealthy, understated presence. Full tang construction runs the length of the handle, providing structural integrity and a forward-weighted balance that feels substantial in hand. This is a sword built for collectors drawn to the darker end of the Black Katana spectrum.;
The tsuka stretches 10.62 inches, wrapped in black PU leather cord over a black samegawa underlayer. The diamond-pattern wrap is tight and uniform, creating a grip that is both visually seamless and functionally secure. Black menuki sit beneath the wrapping, keeping the entire handle in a single unbroken tone from kashira to fuchi.
At the guard position, a flat iron tsuba in matte black carries a subtle floral motif in low relief. The real visual anchor sits just below - a polished brass habaki engraved with a traditional Japanese kamon (family crest) featuring a geometric floral design. This brass accent, paired with a thin brass seppa ring, provides the only warm-toned contrast on the entire sword and draws the eye naturally to the transition between handle and blade.
The 29.52-inch hardwood saya is fully sheathed in woven black PU leather with a tight cross-hatch basket weave texture. A brass kurikata near the mouth holds a leather sageo strap with metal ring fittings, designed for shoulder or back carry. The koiguchi fits snugly against the habaki, and the overall saya construction feels solid without unnecessary bulk.
At 40.15 inches overall and 2.53 lbs, this obsidian katana balances visual impact with practical weight. Every element - from the blackened blade to the leather-wrapped saya to the brass kamon accent - works together to create a cohesive, modern interpretation of the Japanese sword. It sits comfortably among Full Tang Sword offerings built for serious collectors who value bold, monochromatic design.
