Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from manganese steel and finished to a high chrome polish that runs cleanly from the hamon line to the spine. The hamon is clearly visible along the edge, tracing the classic undulating boundary that is the hallmark of traditional Japanese sword craft. At 41 inches overall and 3 lbs, the balance sits well in hand, and the full-tang construction ensures the blade and handle move as a single unit.
The tsuka is wrapped in black ito over white faux-same, producing the alternating diamond pattern visible along the handle. The kashira at the pommel end is finished in an aged silver tone, capping the handle with a clean, traditional detail. The wrapping is firm and evenly spaced throughout.
The tsuba is the clear focal point of this piece. Cast in black and gold, it carries an engraved gold dragon coiling across a dark background - detailed enough to read clearly even at a distance. The seppa on either side of the tsuba are finished in a complementary silver-gold tone that ties the guard to the blade's chrome finish. For collectors exploring the full range of Black Dragon Katana Sword designs, this tsuba stands as one of the more visually complete dragon treatments available.
One of the most distinctive details on this katana is the gold tiger sagari - a three-dimensional charm suspended from the saya near the koiguchi. Sculpted in bright gold with visible fur texture and posture, it provides a kinetic accent that moves slightly when the sword is handled. The black hardwood saya is lacquered to a smooth gloss finish and fitted with a black sageo cord. The overall color story - black lacquer, black cord, chrome blade, gold fittings - is consistent across every component.
If you are drawn to dragon-themed koshirae with strong contrast fittings, the broader category of Silver Dragon Tsuba Japanese Samurai Swords offers useful comparison points for this style. Overall length is 41 inches, shipping weight is 4 lbs, and the package dimensions are 43 x 4 x 4 inches. Sword stand not included.
