Product Details

The blade on this katana is forged from 1060 carbon steel and polished to a bright chrome finish that catches light cleanly along the curved edge. Running the full length of the tang, the steel is shaped into a traditional silhouette with a defined kissaki point, visible in the detail shots. Each piece is individually crafted by hand, so minor variation in surface character is expected and reflects the nature of the process. For collectors looking at the broader 1060 Katana category, this build sits within that same steel specification while distinguishing itself through its visual ensemble.

The tsuka is wrapped in purple silk ito over a white PU same base. The diagonal wrap opens at regular intervals to reveal gold-tone menuki seated beneath the cord - small details that break up the purple expanse and add depth to the handle. The grip feels secure in hand at the full 41-inch overall length, and the 2 lb. weight is distributed with balance between handle and blade.

The black iron tsuba carries a chrysanthemum relief pattern across its face - a motif tied to Japanese aesthetics and formal sword fittings. A gold-tone habaki sits between the tsuba and blade collar, clean in fit and consistent with koshirae-style construction. The overall metal palette of black, gold, and chrome reads as intentional and cohesive across the full assembly.

The saya is the most visually distinctive element of this piece. Hardwood construction is lacquered in white and printed with a repeating floral vine pattern - pink blossoms, green leaves, and gold accents running the full length from koiguchi to kojiri. A purple sageo cord is tied at the mouth of the saya, echoing the ito color and tying the color scheme together across handle and scabbard.

Overall length is 41 inches, weight is 2 lbs., and the piece ships in packaging measuring 43 x 4 x 4 inches. Sword stand not included. Each unit is individually handmade, so minor specification variance from piece to piece is normal.

  • Blade forged from 1060 carbon steel with a chrome-polished finish, delivering a mirror-bright surface and a hand-finished edge along the traditional shinogi-zukuri profile.
  • Full-tang construction runs the steel uninterrupted from tip to pommel, ensuring solid balance across the 41-inch overall length at 2 lbs.
  • Black iron tsuba features a raised chrysanthemum pattern in relief - a classic koshirae motif framed by a gold-tone habaki that bridges blade and guard cleanly.
  • Purple silk ito is hand-wrapped over white same (PU ray-skin) in the traditional diagonal pattern, with gold-accent menuki visible between the wrap crossings.
  • White hardwood lacquer saya is printed with a full-length floral vine pattern in pink, green, and gold, finished with a matching purple sageo cord tied at the koiguchi.
