Product Details

This striking katana features a 1045 steel blade finished in a deep baked blue with bold white etched patterns running along the entire surface. Hardened to 58 HRC, the 21.5-inch blade delivers a refined edge and a chrome-toned spine that contrasts sharply against the blue finish. The etched motifs - visible in close detail near the kissaki - give the blade a distinctive character that sets it apart from standard polished steel designs.

The 6.5-inch tsuka is built on a full tang core and wrapped tightly in black leather cord over red ray skin. The cord wrapping follows a traditional pattern, providing both visual texture and a firm, anti-slip grip. The guardless design keeps the profile clean and emphasizes the blade-to-handle transition.

At the pommel, a sculpted alloy dragon cap anchors the handle with intricate relief work depicting a coiled dragon. The bronze-toned alloy tsuba carries a matching dragon theme, framing the base of the blade with detailed metalwork. Together these fittings create a cohesive dragon motif throughout the sword's hardware.

The black hardwood saya is wrapped in PU leather featuring raised tiger-motif engravings across the entire surface, finished in a matte black tone. The engraved patterns add depth and tactile interest, while the black sageo cord completes the traditional mounting. This saya design pairs naturally with other pieces in the Blue Manganese Steel Katana collection.

At 46 inches overall and weighing 1.5 lbs, this katana balances visual impact with manageable proportions. The combination of a baked blue etched blade, dragon-themed fittings, and tiger-engraved saya makes it a compelling addition to any display. For collectors seeking hand-finished edges, explore the full range of Sharp Katana options available.

  • Forged from 1045 steel with a baked blue finish and white etched patterns across the blade surface, hardened to 58 HRC for reliable edge retention and structural integrity.

  • Alloy dragon-themed tsuba in bronze tone paired with a sculpted dragon pommel cap, adding bold detail to the guardless design profile.
  • Black hardwood saya wrapped in PU leather featuring raised tiger-motif engravings, with a matte surface finish and black sageo cord for traditional carry styling.

I’d maybe make an effort to emphasize handguards. It’s a sweet item. I may have not chosen to even get it with a handguard but I also just wasn’t aware sometimes it’s worth considering getting one

I have purchased a few blades from True Katana. I receive them fast, they are sharp and I have another on the way. This sword was different from what I usually get but still fantastic and the price was great.
