1045 Carbon Steel Odachi with Blue Blade, Orange Rosewood Saya & Bronze Chrysanthemum Tsuba

The 41-inch blade is forged from 1045 carbon steel and finished in a deep blue polish that transitions into a bright hamon line along the edge. The differential temper line runs continuously from the yokote to the habaki, creating the wave-like contrast visible across the full length of the nagasa. At 3 lb total, the sword carries a deliberate presence without feeling unwieldy for display or handling.

The tsuka is wrapped in black-and-white zigzag-pattern ito over an orange hardwood core, producing sharp visual contrast between the warm handle and the cool blue steel above. The full-tang construction passes the entire blade spine through the handle, secured beneath the ito wrap for structural integrity across the length of the grip.

A bronze chrysanthemum tsuba sits at the junction of blade and handle, its round profile decorated with floral relief and quatrefoil cutouts. The antique bronze finish reads warm and aged against the orange of the tsuka, tying the metalwork to the wood tones throughout the koshirae. A white same-wrapped habaki sits flush beneath the tsuba to seat the blade cleanly in the saya.

The orange natural hardwood saya is fitted with matching bronze kojiri at the tip, a kurikata on the body, and a koiguchi at the mouth - each piece in the same antique bronze tone as the tsuba. A black-and-white braided sageo is threaded through the kurikata and tied in a decorative knot, adding length and movement when the sword is displayed. This piece is part of our Blue Odachi lineup and sits alongside the broader Long Odachi collection for collectors seeking oversized Japanese sword formats.

Overall length is 41 inches with a shipping weight of 4 lb in a 43 x 4 x 4-inch package. The sword stand is not included. This odachi is suited for wall display, cosplay, or collection alongside other long-format Japanese replica swords.
