Product Details

The blade on this nihonto-style katana is forged from manganese steel and runs full tang through the handle, giving it solid construction from tip to pommel. At 41 inches overall and 4 pounds, it carries a substantial feel. The chrome-finished blade is precision-ground to a clean edge and features a dragon motif engraved along the flat - a detail that references classical Japanese blade artistry without being understated. Each piece is individually finished by hand, so minor variations in fit and surface character are expected.

The tsuka is wrapped in a black diamond-pattern cord over a contoured wooden core, creating a secure, textured grip. A gold-toned menuki is set at the center of the wrap, adding a traditional decorative accent consistent with authentic koshirae construction. The black iron kashira caps the pommel cleanly.

The tsuba is cast iron in black, featuring an ornate scroll relief across its circular face. The design draws from classical Japanese fittings aesthetic while the all-black finish keeps the overall look cohesive. It sits flush between blade and handle without play. For collectors interested in Authentic Samurai Sword fittings traditions, the hardware on this piece reflects that lineage.

The saya is constructed from a wood core wrapped in black PU leather with a woven surface texture. A metal suspension ring and adjustable carry strap are attached via riveted leather tabs - visible in the detail shots and consistent with field-carry koshirae design. The sageo cord is black and anchored at the kurigata. Collectors drawn to Black Rayskin Scabbard Katana aesthetics will find this saya's all-black treatment equally striking.

Total length is 41 inches with a shipping weight of 5 pounds. Package dimensions are 43 x 4 x 4 inches. The sword stand or holder is not included. This piece is intended for serious collectors and Japanese sword enthusiasts - the unified black koshirae, dragon-engraved blade, and full-tang construction make it a strong centerpiece for any display.

Frequently Asked Questions

What steel is used and how hard is the blade?
The blade is forged from manganese steel with a full-tang construction running the full 41-inch length. It receives a precision-ground chrome finish. Specific HRC hardness data is not listed for this piece.
What does the dragon engraving on the blade look like?
The dragon motif is engraved along the flat of the blade - visible as a flowing line design against the polished chrome surface. It runs from near the habaki area toward the mid-blade and is applied by hand, so minor variation between pieces is normal.
What theme is the tsuba and how does it match the saya?
The tsuba is black iron with an ornate scroll relief pattern on a round profile. The saya is black PU leather over wood with a woven texture surface. Both components share the all-black koshirae color scheme, unified with black sageo cord and black tsuka wrap.
