Odachi Sword High Manganese Steel Blue Blade with Floral Black Saya & Dragon Tsuba

The blade on this odachi is finished in a deep blue gradient with a clearly defined hamon running edge-side along the full 41-inch length. Made from high manganese steel, the blade has a hand-finished edge and a polished surface that catches light distinctly at the hamon boundary - where the blue shifts to bare steel near the cutting edge. The visual effect is bold without requiring clay tempering, relying instead on precision finishing to achieve the contrast.

The handle (tsuka) uses a red ray-skin (samegawa) base wrapped in alternating green and red cord in a traditional diamond pattern. A teal sageo cord hangs from the kurikata on the saya. This color combination directly references the koshirae style associated with Demon Slayer's Obanai character, making it a recognizable piece for anime collectors.

The black iron tsuba is cast with a dragon relief design - detailed scales and form visible on both faces. It serves as the visual anchor between blade and handle, with a fuchi collar finishing the transition cleanly. The dragon theme gives the mountings a distinctly classical Japanese aesthetic that contrasts with the more contemporary floral saya.

The saya (scabbard) is the standout design element of this piece. Lacquered hardwood in gloss black is hand-painted with a dense floral arrangement - pink plum blossoms, white flowers, and gold-highlighted leaves distributed across the full length of the scabbard. The painting style is flat and graphic, with each flower rendered individually against the black ground. For collectors interested in Odachi Sword display pieces, the saya alone sets this apart from standard lacquer finishes.

Overall length is 41 inches, weight is 3 lbs, and the package ships at 4 lbs in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box. This is a full tang Full Tang Nodachi Sword replica built for wall display and collection - sword stand is not included.
