- 1095 carbon steel blade finished in a striking blue tone with a visible hamon line running the full length - a hallmark of traditional heat-treatment craftsmanship on this shirasaya-style straight sword.
- Full-tang construction runs the blade steel through the entire handle length, giving the piece solid structural integrity and satisfying balance across its 41-inch overall length.
- The saya is crafted from hardwood and finished in a deep black lacquer overlaid with vivid blue lightning-vein patterning - a bold visual detail that sets this piece apart from standard plain-lacquer scabbards.
- Handle wrapping echoes the saya's black-and-blue color scheme, keeping the overall presentation cohesive - the gold-tone collar fitting provides a clean metallic contrast at the blade entry point.
- Shirasaya form without a traditional tsuba guard preserves the clean, uninterrupted silhouette associated with the Zatoichi blind swordsman aesthetic - ideal for display or cosplay reference.

Product Details
The blade on this Zatoichi-style stick sword is forged from 1095 carbon steel and finished in a deep blue tone that catches the light along its straight, single-edge profile. A flowing hamon line - the transition zone left by the heat-treatment process - runs continuously from the base toward the kissaki tip, adding visual depth to the blue finish and confirming that the steel has been properly hardened and differentially tempered. The full-tang construction means the steel extends through the entire handle core, giving the piece solid structural integrity at 41 inches overall length and 3 pounds. Collectors interested in other straight-profile Japanese swords can explore the Straight Edge Sword category for additional options.
The handle assembly follows the shirasaya convention: no traditional tsuba guard interrupts the line between handle and blade. The gold-tone collar fitting at the blade entry provides the only metallic accent, and it reads cleanly against the surrounding black-and-blue materials. The handle itself is finished in the same black-and-blue palette as the saya, maintaining a cohesive look from tip to end cap.
The saya is built from hardwood and finished under a lacquer coat that serves as the base for the piece's most distinctive visual feature: a lightning-vein pattern rendered in vivid blue against the black ground. The branching lines spread across the entire scabbard surface, referencing the look of electrical discharge and giving the piece an immediately recognizable aesthetic. The lacquer finish protects the hardwood underneath and provides a smooth draw surface.
At 41 inches overall and 3 pounds, this shirasaya sits in a practical size range for wall mounting or shelf display. The straight blade geometry and tsuba-free design make it a natural reference piece for fans of the Zatoichi blind swordsman film and television tradition. Packaging measures 43 x 4 x 4 inches at a shipping weight of 4 pounds. Note: sword stand is not included.
