Manganese Steel Katana with Dragon Engraved White Hardwood Saya - Black Geometric Tsuba Full Tang

The blade is forged from high manganese steel and ground to a chrome-polished finish that catches light cleanly along its curved profile. Running full tang from tip to pommel, the nagasa provides solid balance and is precision-finished by hand - no visible hamon, just a clean, mirror-smooth surface that lets the steel's character speak for itself.

The tsuka is wrapped in traditional diamond-pattern black ito over white PU samegawa, creating a tight, textured grip in a clean monochrome contrast. The wrapping follows the koshirae style with consistent spacing across each diamond, anchored firmly to the full tang construction beneath.

The iron tsuba is the standout hardware piece - a black openwork geometric guard with a lattice of rounded cutouts ringing a silver-toned engraved center medallion. The combination of black ironwork and polished silver center gives it a layered, architectural quality rarely seen on entry-level pieces.

The saya is where this katana makes its boldest statement. Crafted from hardwood with a lacquer finish, it is painted white and hand-engraved with a full-length dragon scene rendered in black - clouds, scales, and sweeping movement covering most of the scabbard's face. A black sageo cord ties off near the kurikata, anchoring the dark handle palette to the white saya in a deliberate visual contrast.

At 41 inches overall and 4 pounds, this katana ships in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch package. If you are building a wall display or adding to an existing collection, this piece pairs well with others in the Full Tang Samurai Sword lineup. Note: display stand is not included.
