Product Details

This black blade katana features a 28.74-inch spring steel blade hardened to 58 HRC with a full tang structure. The blade surface is finished in a deep black tone, contrasted by a vivid white lightning-style hamon pattern that runs along the edge from habaki to kissaki. The jagged, electric hamon creates a dramatic visual effect against the dark steel, giving the blade a distinctive character that sets it apart from standard polished finishes.

The 10.23-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped in white PU samegawa beneath black PU leather ito. The leather is bound in a traditional diamond-cross pattern, and the kashira at the pommel end is a sculpted dragon head rendered in dark alloy with gold-tone highlights - a bold accent visible in the bottom-left detail of the product image.

At the junction of blade and handle sits a real copper tsuba with gold-tone trim, designed around a Dragon Katana motif. The guard features a dimensional dragon form coiled around a lattice center, adding both visual weight and thematic cohesion to the fittings. The habaki collar beneath is finished to match the gold tone of the tsuba rim.

The 30.7-inch saya is crafted from hardwood and coated in piano lacquer, resulting in a mirror-like black surface. Beneath the lacquer, a dragon engraving wraps around the scabbard body, subtly visible under direct light. A black braided sageo is tied in a decorative knot around the kurikata, and a small opal-tone bead accents the cord assembly. This Black Dragon Samurai Sword design carries through from tsuba to saya for a unified dragon theme.

At 41 inches overall and 4.4 lbs, this katana is sized and weighted for display presence. Every fitting - from the dragon kashira to the lacquered saya tip - is hand-assembled, making it a cohesive collectible piece for enthusiasts drawn to dark-themed Japanese sword replicas.
