Product Details

The blade on this nodachi is shaped from high manganese steel and brought to a polished chrome finish through a hand-finishing process. Running the full length of the tang, the steel provides structural continuity from tip to pommel - a characteristic of classical Japanese long sword construction. The clean surface and refined edge geometry make it well-suited for display as well as handling practice.;

The tsuka is wrapped in black leather cord using a traditional diagonal binding pattern over a black rayskin base. A matched black kashira caps the pommel, and a round menuki sits inset along the grip. The handle proportions are scaled to the odachi format, offering a two-handed grip length appropriate for the sword's overall 41-inch span.

The tsuba is the most visually striking component of this build. Cast in gold-tone alloy, it takes the form of a chrysanthemum bloom with individually detailed petal arches radiating from the central opening. The texture and relief work on the surface give it a dimensional quality that reads clearly from distance - consistent with the koshirae presentation style of this piece. Collectors drawn to Japanese Odachi Sword designs will recognize this fitting style immediately.

The saya is constructed from hardwood and finished with a black natural lacquer coat that gives the scabbard a deep, even gloss. Gold-tone fittings at the koiguchi and kojiri provide contrast against the black surface. A green braided sageo is attached through the kurigata, its olive-gold tone adding a layered color note to the otherwise monochrome black and gold palette.

At 41 inches in length and 4 lbs, this piece occupies the full odachi scale range and ships in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch package at 5 lbs. Whether mounted on a wall or displayed across a stand, it presents with the visual weight expected of a long-format Japanese sword replica. Sword stand is not included. For other full-tang long sword options, see our Japanese Nodachi Sword collection.
