Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from 1095 carbon steel and finished in a deep blue, with a visible wave-pattern hamon running the length of the edge. A wave engraving decorates the blade surface, adding visual texture that catches light differently depending on the angle. At 41 inches overall and 3 lbs, the proportions follow traditional katana geometry with a full-tang construction that connects handle to blade without interruption. For collectors drawn to blue-finished swords, our Blue Katana collection covers a range of blade colorways and steel options.
The tsuka is built with genuine white samegawa (ray skin) as the grip foundation, then wrapped in dark blue ito cord in the classic diamond-lozenge pattern. Gold menuki fittings are positioned beneath the wrap at both hand positions, visible through the gaps in the binding. The combination of white samegawa, deep blue cord, and gold accents gives the handle a layered, high-contrast look that extends the overall color story of the piece.
The tsuba is cast in a gold tone and features a dragon in raised relief - the figure wraps around the disc with visible scale texture and claw detail. A square habaki in matching gold connects the tsuba assembly to the blade base. The fuchi and kashira carry the same gold finish, unifying the fitting set across the koshirae construction.
The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in gloss black lacquer, providing a clean, high-shine surface that contrasts directly with the blue blade when drawn. A dark blue sageo cord is attached at the kurigata and knotted in a traditional wrap style, echoing the tsuka ito color for a consistent two-tone presentation across the complete set.
Overall length is 41 inches, weight is 3 lbs, and the package ships at 4 lbs in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box. Sword stand or holder is not included. This piece is suited for display and collection - the koshirae fittings, blue blade finish, and dragon tsuba make it a visually distinctive addition to any Japanese sword collection.
