Manganese Steel Katana with Dragon Tsuba in Black Lacquer Saya - Gold Kamon Accents

The blade is forged from manganese steel and finished to a polished chrome tone, running a clean curved nagasa with a hand-finished edge and a visible hamon line tracing the length. At 41 inches overall and 3 lbs, the sword carries genuine heft without feeling unwieldy - the full tang runs from tip to pommel, giving the piece structural integrity that suits serious collectors.

The tsuka is wrapped in black-and-blue cotton ito using a traditional diagonal pattern, with gold diamond-shaped menuki inlaid beneath the wrap at the grip midpoints. The copper-toned habaki fits snugly at the base of the blade, providing a clean transition between nagasa and guard while adding a warm metallic accent against the chrome steel.

The alloy tsuba carries a dragon relief in black and gold - a carved, textured design with the dragon figure rendered in dark negative space against a gold-highlighted background. The black ground and gold detailing give the guard a bold, layered appearance that reads clearly even at a distance.

The saya is constructed from hardwood finished in a deep black lacquer, smooth and high-gloss along its full length. Four circular gold kamon medallions are mounted at even intervals down the scabbard face, each featuring a detailed foliate mon design. A black sageo cord is tied at the kurigata, completing the traditional koshirae presentation. Browse the full range of styles in our Black Dragon Tsuba Japanese Samurai Swords collection.
