Product Details
The blade is forged from high manganese steel and ground to a polished chrome finish, running 41 inches overall with a full-tang construction that keeps weight centered through the grip. No hamon is present on this blade - the clean mirror polish lets the steel's natural luster speak for itself, and the precision-finished edge reflects careful hand-finishing by experienced swordsmiths.
The tsuka is wrapped in black ray skin (same) as a base layer, then bound with black ito cord in a traditional diamond cross pattern. Gold-tone menuki ornaments are set at evenly spaced intervals along the grip, creating a repeating black-and-gold rhythm that runs the full length of the handle. The kashira and habaki are finished in matching gold-tone alloy, tying the hardware together cohesively.
The tsuba is the visual centerpiece of this koshirae - a chrysanthemum-themed guard cast in gold-black alloy with dense, layered petal relief covering the entire surface. The dark oxidized background makes the raised gold detail pop sharply, and the circular silhouette follows classical Japanese guard proportions. Collectors who appreciate Dragon Katana Sword designs will recognize the same attention to fittings detail here.
The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in gloss black lacquer, producing a deep, even sheen that complements the chrome blade. Gold-black alloy fittings - kojiri at the tip and kurikata at the carry position - mirror the tsuba's color palette. A black sageo cord is attached at the kurikata, completing the all-black saya presentation.
At 41 inches overall and 4 lb, this katana is built to fill a display stand or wall mount with authority. Each piece is individually handmade, so minor variations in finish and fitting fit are inherent to the process. For collectors exploring Olive Manganese Steel Japanese Samurai Swords or similar hand-forged pieces, this black-and-gold koshirae offers a distinct aesthetic in the same steel family. Sword stand not included.
