Product Details

This tachi sword features a 29-inch clay tempered 1095 carbon steel nagasa that has been folded to produce visible layered grain patterns along the surface. The folding process combined with clay tempering at 58 HRC hardness creates a distinct hamon line separating the hardened edge from the softer spine, giving the blade both structural integrity and visual depth. The chrome-toned finish highlights each fold line under light.

The 10.25-inch tsuka is built on a full tang core wrapped in black polyurethane leather samegawa for texture and grip. Over this sits a tightly wound teal silk ito in a traditional diamond pattern, with gold-toned menuki peeking through the wrapping gaps. The kashira at the pommel end carries matching gold accents with a flower-shaped motif that echoes the fittings throughout.

At the guard position, a gold-toned alloy tsuba features an intricate openwork bamboo lattice design. The cutout pattern allows light to pass through the guard, creating depth and dimension. Gold plating on the raised edges contrasts with the darker recessed sections, giving the tsuba a layered, sculptural quality that pairs naturally with the teal and bronze color scheme. Collectors browsing Japanese Odachi will appreciate how this tachi carries similar grand proportions with refined detail work.

The 29.5-inch hardwood saya is finished in a bronze-shimmer matte lacquer that catches light with a subtle metallic sparkle. A green-and-white braided sageo wraps around the kurikata in an elaborate decorative knot, adding texture and visual interest to the scabbard's clean lines. Gold-toned koiguchi and kojiri fittings at the mouth and tip of the saya complete the polished presentation.

Measuring 41 inches overall and weighing 3 pounds, this tachi carries the extended curvature and suspended-edge-down carry style that distinguishes it from standard katana. The combination of clay tempered folded steel, teal-and-bronze colorwork, and bamboo-themed gold fittings makes it a distinctive addition to any Kodachi Sword or tachi collection.

  • Clay tempered 1095 carbon steel blade folded to create visible grain patterns, hand-finished edge with 58 HRC hardness for a refined collectible piece.
  • Teal silk ito wrapping over black polyurethane leather samegawa on a 10.25-inch full tang tsuka, delivering a secure traditional grip.
  • Gold-toned alloy tsuba with an openwork bamboo lattice design, accented by matching gold menuki and kashira for a cohesive aesthetic.
  • Bronze-shimmer hardwood saya stretches 29.5 inches with matte lacquer finish, paired with green-and-white braided sageo knotwork.

Sword’s a beauty. The scabbard feels a bit delicate towards the tail end though.

It was very nice, and very sharp as stated in the in the details. My only problem was the gold cap at the end of the sheath was not properly secured and popped right off. It wasn't a big deal because I was able to fix it myself, but you would hope when you are spending 100s of dollars on these that they would take the time to properly do everything. Besides that though, it truly was a nice buy.

Beautiful craftsmanship and a true display of the work that can go into one of these swords. Most look good while maintaining a good price point but these look good, feel good and I feel will hold up better than a lot of the competitors at the same price points.

If you have any doubts about the quality of this katana, then don't worry because it is by far the most beautiful and quality swords that I own. The biggest give away of a cheap sword imo is the sageo and the cord and both are very nice and tight. The edge is razor sharp and the blade as a whole has a nice, weighty feel to it. The flowers on the tsuba are very nice and all fittings are 100% metal. All in all this is a quality piece that i'm happy to own!

Well balanced and sturdy but some of the material is a bit cheap
