1095 Carbon Steel Katana with White Lacquer Saya - Green Ito, Dragon Tsuba, Gold Floral Motif

The blade is forged from 1095 carbon steel and finished to a polished chrome appearance, running the full length of a 41-inch overall sword. Full tang construction keeps the blade anchored through the tsuka without compromise, and the hand-finished edge maintains a clean profile from machi to kissaki. At 3 lbs, the sword carries enough presence for display without being unwieldy to handle or reposition.

The tsuka is wrapped in green ito over a white PU same base, forming a consistent diamond pattern from fuchi to kashira. The contrast between the deep green cord and the pale rayskin underlay gives the handle a layered visual depth that holds up under close inspection. The silver fuchi and kashira hardware frame the wrap with clean, unornamented metal ends.

The tsuba is cast in silver-tone alloy with an openwork dragon motif - intricate cutouts define the dragon's form against a negative-space background. A gold-tone habaki sits flush below the tsuba, bridging the guard and the blade's base. This metal combination of silver and gold carries through into the fitting set and ties the sword's color story together.

The white hardwood lacquer saya is one of the most visually distinctive elements of this piece. Five gold floral mon emblems are applied at even intervals along the saya's body, evoking classical Japanese heraldic decoration. A deep green sageo cord is knotted at the kurikata, looping down in a tassel finish that echoes the green ito on the handle. The saya's matte white surface keeps the gold motifs from competing with each other.

Overall length is 41 inches and shipping weight is 4 lbs in a 43 x 4 x 4 in. package. This katana is built in the koshirae style with coordinated fittings throughout - a strong choice for collectors who focus on Red And White Katana aesthetics or those expanding into green-and-white colorways. Sword stand is not included.
