Product Details
This black blade katana features a 21.5-inch nagasa forged from 1045 manganese steel, heat-treated to a hardness of 58 HRC. The chrome-black finish along the full length of the blade creates a bold, dark aesthetic while adding a functional layer of protection against oxidation. The steel has been hand-finished with a refined edge, and the full tang construction extends through the entire handle for structural integrity.
The 6.5-inch tsuka is built over a ray-skin samegawa base and tightly wrapped in black cotton cord using a traditional cross-knot pattern. This combination provides both tactile grip and visual consistency with the all-black theme. The ray-skin beneath the cord adds texture and prevents slippage, a hallmark of authentic katana handle construction.
At the junction of blade and handle sits a bronze-toned alloy tsuba carved with an orchid motif. The orchid design brings an understated elegance to the guard, contrasting subtly against the surrounding black fittings. This tsuba serves as both a decorative accent and a functional separator, a detail appreciated by collectors of Black Manganese Steel Japanese Samurai Swords.
The saya is crafted from hardwood with a matte black surface that matches the overall dark palette of this katana. A black sageo cord is tied around the kurikata in a traditional knot, completing the cohesive monochrome look. The interior of the saya is shaped to hold the blade snugly, ensuring safe storage and smooth draw.
At 41 inches in total length and weighing 1.5 lbs, this katana strikes a clean balance between presence and manageability. Every component - from blade to saya - follows a unified black-on-black design language, making it a distinctive addition to any Metal Katana Sword collection or wall-mounted display arrangement.
