Manganese Steel Black Blade Katana with Blue Floral Lacquer Saya - Gray Tsuka, Cloud Tsuba
- Black manganese steel blade with a visible hamon line runs the full length of the nagasa, precision-finished to a mirror polish that highlights the dramatic contrast between the darkened body and bright edge.
- Full-tang construction seats the blade deep into a gray ito-wrapped tsuka over black PU samegawa, giving the handle a firm, secure grip with a traditional diamond-pattern wrap.
- Round iron tsuba in matte black features an open cloud motif cutout with a gold-accent fuchi, adding a refined decorative focal point between blade and handle.
- Deep blue hardwood saya is finished in a lacquer pattern of scattered white floral clusters, evoking a night-blooming garden and making each scabbard visually distinct.
- Gray sageo cord is hand-knotted at the koiguchi in a classic braided knot, coordinating with the tsuka ito for a unified gray-and-blue color scheme across the full koshirae set.
- Overall length 41 inches, shipping weight 4 lb - sized for wall display or full draw presentation in any collector's space.

Product Details
The blade is forged from manganese steel and finished in a deep black with a hand-polished hamon that traces a flowing wave line along the edge. The contrast between the darkened flat and the bright, refined edge gives the nagasa a layered visual depth that rewards close inspection. This is a full-tang build, meaning the steel extends completely through the handle for structural integrity throughout the piece.
The tsuka is wrapped in gray ito over black PU samegawa in the traditional diamond pattern. The alternating open and covered diamonds pull tight across the handle, creating a firm and visually clean grip surface. Gray menuki accents sit beneath the wrap at the standard positions, adding subtle decorative relief without disrupting the wrap geometry.
The tsuba is a round iron piece in matte black, cut in an open cloud motif that frames negative space in organic, layered curves. A gold-tone fuchi collar sits immediately below it, creating a precise accent line between the dark tsuba and the gray ito wrap. The combination of black iron and gold reads as classic koshirae styling. For collectors interested in other guard designs, the Blue Katana Sword collection includes a range of complementary koshirae configurations.
The saya is built from hardwood and finished in a rich blue lacquer ground scattered with white floral clusters across its entire surface. The pattern resembles snow blossoms on deep indigo fabric - dense near the koiguchi and spreading loosely toward the kojiri. A gray sageo is knotted at the koiguchi in a braided presentation style, tying the saya visually back to the gray tsuka ito.
At 41 inches overall and 3 lb, this katana carries a proportional balance suited to display mounting or full draw presentation. Shipping weight is 4 lb in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch package. If the black blade finish is the draw, the Black Blade Katana collection offers additional options in the same finish category. Sword stand is not included.
