Product Details

The blade is forged from manganese steel and finished in a deep blue tone that runs the full length of the nagasa. A visible hamon line traces the edge, catching light with a wave-like irregularity that adds depth to the blue surface. The full tang construction ensures the blade and handle form a single continuous piece of steel, maintaining structural integrity from tip to pommel. At 41 inches overall, the straight profile gives this piece a distinctive silhouette within the broader world of Blue Sword designs.

The tsuka is wrapped in blue-black ito over a PU samegawa base, with a tight diamond pattern that provides grip texture across the handle length. A gold-tone menuki sits beneath the ito near the habaki end, visible between the wrap crossings and adding a warm metallic contrast to the cooler blue cord tones.

The tsuba is cast alloy in a black-and-gold skull theme. A three-dimensional skull and crossbones motif occupies the face of the guard, surrounded by a textured black field. The gold seppa positioned between the tsuba and tsuka brings the fittings together with a clean brass-toned border.

The black lacquered hardwood saya is the standout detail of this koshirae. Skull figures are hand-engraved along the scabbard surface, their natural wood tone revealed against the high-gloss black lacquer background. A blue sageo cord is knotted at the kurikata, matching the handle ito and completing the coordinated blue-and-black color story across all components.

Weighing 3 lb with an overall length of 41 inches and packaged in a 43 x 4 x 4-inch box, this straight sword is a fully assembled koshirae piece suited for display, collection, or study of traditional Japanese fittings. Note: sword stand is not included.

Première commande sur TrueKatana.com , motivée par l'envoi à 0,00 :-D
Le colis a été envoyé de Malaisie, direction Belgique par FEDEX :
dédouanement : TVA 6% et juste 5euro de frais de traitement : agréablement surpris je m'attendais à beaucoup plus... Délai de livraison total, du paiement à la livraison : 14 jours calendrier.

le sabre est exactement comme sur les images de présentation du site, magnifique.
Je ne m'y connais pas dans les différents métaux et aciers pour y apporter une appréciation constructive. Je peux juste dire que c'est lourd et robuste : tout est bien fini, bien fixé, aucune pièce ne "gigote"...
La qualité des finitions bonne, sans quelques rares imperfections, à ce prix il ne faut pas s'attendre à des finitions au millimètre près.
l'illustration du Saya (crânes) sont gravés dans le bois, ce n'est pas une vulgaire impression sur la peinture!

Agréablement surpris donc pour cette première commande, le choix est difficile pour le(s) prochain(s) car, oui, aux prix raisonnables et frais d'importation minimes, je commande à nouveau, ça donne envie de refaire la déco !

Par contre, certains articles sont à 0,00 frais d'envoi , et d'autres 19,99USD :-/
sans savoir pourquoi ça ne donne pas envie d'acheter ceux-là...
