Product Details

This collectible katana features a spring steel blade measuring 28.74 inches, heat-treated to 58 HRC for reliable hardness and a clean, chrome-polished surface. The full tang construction runs through the entire handle, secured with traditional mekugi pins for structural integrity. The refined edge and gentle curvature give the blade a classic silhouette suited for display.

The 10.23-inch tsuka is wrapped in black cotton ito cord over genuine white rayskin (samegawa), creating the diamond-pattern grip found on traditional Japanese swords. The black and white color pairing keeps the handle understated, letting the fittings and saya command visual attention.

At the guard, a black alloy tsuba showcases an intricately cast snake motif with gold-tone highlights along the rim. The three-dimensional serpent coils across the face of the guard, making this piece a strong focal point and a natural fit among our Gold Dragon Tsuba Japanese Samurai Swords collection.

The 30.7-inch hardwood saya is the standout element of this katana. Finished in piano lacquer, its surface carries a hand-painted portrait of a geisha surrounded by peony blossoms, rendered in warm sepia and cream tones. The painting wraps around the body of the scabbard, transitioning from detailed facial features to flowing floral elements. A black and white sageo cord is tied at the kurikata, complementing the handle wrap.

Overall, this katana measures 40.94 inches in length and weighs 4.4 lbs. The combination of spring steel construction, snake-themed tsuba, and the artistic geisha saya makes it a distinctive addition to any sword collection or display.

This was the 3rd sword I've received from True Katana recently and once again exquisite. It arrived on time well packaged in perfect condition and is sharp as all 3 from True Katana have been and it is absolutely beautiful. True Katana blades are top notch and priced well. True Katana not only has my trust but my loyalty. Excellent customer service and quality real deal blades each masterfully crafted with attention to detail. I highly recommend True Katana...
