Spring Steel Katana with Silver Dragon Tsuba and Black Lacquered Saya - Full Tang Japanese Sword

This katana features a 28.74-inch spring steel blade forged to 58 HRC hardness and finished with a clean, polished chrome-tone surface. The full tang construction runs the entire length of the handle, giving the sword solid structural integrity. The hand-finished edge tapers to a precise point, and the overall blade profile carries a traditional curvature suited to the classic katana silhouette.

The tsuka measures 10.23 inches and is built over a hardwood core wrapped in PU white samegawa. Black cotton cord is woven in a traditional diamond pattern over the samegawa, providing both grip texture and a sharp visual contrast. The black and white pairing gives the handle a clean, monochromatic look that ties directly into the saya's color scheme.

At the heart of the fittings sits a real copper tsuba finished in silver with gold-toned accents. The guard features a detailed dragon theme rendered in relief, with open cutouts that add dimension and allow glimpses of the habaki beneath. This style of tsuba draws from traditional Japanese metalwork and serves as a natural focal point. Collectors who appreciate this aesthetic may also enjoy browsing our Black Samurai Sword collection for similar dark-toned builds.

The 30.7-inch hardwood saya is finished in piano lacquer with a glossy black base. A striking white splash pattern runs across the surface, giving each scabbard a one-of-a-kind appearance. The koiguchi is fitted cleanly, and a black-white sageo cord is tied at the kurikata, complementing the saya's two-tone finish. The lacquer adds both visual depth and a protective layer against moisture.

At 41 inches in total length and 4.4 lbs, this katana has real presence on a wall mount or sword stand. The spring steel blade, copper dragon tsuba, and piano-lacquered saya combine traditional Japanese sword elements with bold design choices. For those drawn to darker handle aesthetics, our Black Leather Handle Japanese Samurai Swords offer a complementary range worth exploring.
