Manganese Steel Katana with White Lacquer Saya, Dragon Tsuba in Green & White

The blade is forged from manganese steel and ground to a precision-finished, chrome-toned edge. Running the full 41-inch length of the sword without any joint or gap, the full tang construction locks blade and handle into a single rigid unit - a hallmark of quality koshirae assembly. The polished flat of the blade catches light cleanly, highlighting the gentle curvature characteristic of traditional katana geometry.

The tsuka is wrapped in green ito over a white PU same base, forming a crisp diamond pattern along the grip. Matching green menuki accents are set at intervals beneath the binding, and the overall green-and-white color scheme runs consistently from handle tip to sageo. The Green Handle Katana family shares this bold two-tone approach, and this piece is one of its most visually cohesive expressions.

At the habaki, a gold-tone fuchi collar transitions the handle into the tsuba. The silver alloy tsuba is cast in an openwork dragon design - twin dragons rendered in fine relief against a pierced circular ground, with every scale and claw clearly defined. The contrast between the warm gold fuchi and the cool silver tsuba gives the fitting a layered, high-craft appearance.

The white hardwood saya is finished in natural lacquer and decorated with five gold floral mon motifs spaced evenly along the body. The lacquer surface is smooth and hard, protecting the wood beneath while maintaining the clean white field that makes the gold decoration pop. A deep green sageo cord is tied through the kurikata in a structured knot that mirrors the handle wrap color exactly. If you want to explore more pieces built around this aesthetic, the White Katana collection offers a range of white saya designs at various specifications.

Overall length is 41 inches and the sword weighs 3 lbs. Packaged in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box with a shipping weight of 4 lbs. Note: sword stand or holder is not included.
