Product Details

This katana features a full tang spring steel blade measuring 28.74 inches with a chrome-toned finish and a clean, polished edge. Hardened to 58 HRC, the manganese steel nagasa holds its geometry well and carries a solid weight at 4.4 lbs overall. The 40.94-inch total length gives this piece an imposing silhouette suited for prominent display.

The 10.23-inch hardwood tsuka is wrapped in black leather ito over genuine white rayskin samegawa, creating a sharp visual contrast visible in the traditional diamond pattern. The wrap is tight and even, providing excellent grip texture that echoes classical katana construction methods found across our Handmade Japanese Sword collection.

At the junction of tsuka and nagasa sits a black alloy tsuba featuring an engraved snake motif. The guard displays copper-toned rim accents and gold-colored habaki spacer, adding warm metallic detail against the otherwise dark palette of the sword. The craftsmanship on the snake design shows layered depth with raised scales and flowing body lines.

The hardwood saya is wrapped entirely in dark brown leather with visible hand-stitched edging along its length. A matching brown leather carry strap with metal rings attaches near the koiguchi, making this piece easy to transport or hang. The saya measures 30.7 inches and fits the blade snugly, complementing the overall dark, understated aesthetic. Explore more options in our Brown Scabbard Japanese Samurai Swords collection.

From the polished tip of the kissaki to the leather-bound saya, every element of this katana maintains a cohesive dark color scheme - black handle wrap, dark alloy fittings, and rich brown leather. At just over 41 inches and 4.4 lbs, it strikes a balance between authentic proportion and collectible display quality. Please note that the sword stand is not included.
