1095 Carbon Steel Katana with Black Leather-Wrapped Saya and Iron Tsuba - Full Tang Replica

The blade on this katana is forged from 1095 carbon steel and finished to a bright chrome polish, catching light cleanly along the shinogi and running to a precise kissaki tip. The full tang construction extends through the entire handle, giving the piece a grounded, substantial feel at 41 inches overall length. As part of our 1095 Katana Sword lineup, this piece reflects the same standards applied across that collection - consistent forging process, hand-finished edge, and attention to blade geometry.

The tsuka is built with a black crosshatch-textured surface and fastened with silver-toned mekugi pins at two points along the handle length. The grip provides a stable hold and a clean visual contrast against the polished blade. The overall handle silhouette follows a traditional katana profile without ornamental wrapping, keeping the aesthetic minimal and cohesive.

The iron tsuba is finished in matte black and cut in a quatrefoil pattern - four rounded lobes with open negative space that frames the blade at the habaki without adding visual clutter. The black fuchi collar transitions cleanly from tsuba to handle, maintaining the all-black hardware palette consistent across the fittings.

The saya is covered in black PU leather wound in a dense diagonal braid across the full length, producing the herringbone pattern visible across the scabbard in the product image. A black kojiri caps the end. The sageo cord is black, matching the saya covering and keeping the finish unified. This approach to the saya - part of our Black Spring Steel Japanese Samurai Swords category - distinguishes the piece from lacquered wood saya formats.

Overall length is 41 inches and shipping weight is 5 lbs, with package dimensions of 43 x 4 x 4 inches. Because each piece is individually handcrafted, minor variations in finish details are expected and reflect the handmade nature of the work. Sword stand is not included.
