- Hardwood saya finished in gloss black lacquer with a dramatic white splatter pattern across the lower half, secured with a black sageo cord and a matching kurikata.

Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from manganese steel and finished with a chrome-polished surface that reflects cleanly along the length of the curve. The geometry follows a traditional shinogi-zukuri cross-section, running 41 inches overall with a full tang construction - meaning the steel extends continuously from tip through the handle core without interruption. This is part of our Full Tang Samurai Sword collection, where structural integrity is built into the design from the ground up.
The tsuka is wrapped in black cord ito over a PU black samegawa base, with the diamond-pattern weave sitting tight and even across the full grip length. Gold-toned menuki ornaments are set beneath the wrap at the midpoint on each side, visible as subtle accents through the cord gaps. The overall handle color is all black with just those warm gold accent details breaking the surface.
The tsuba is the standout component of this koshirae. Cast in bronze with an antique warm tone, it features a raised tiger relief design - the animal rendered in detailed three-dimensional form within the circular guard profile. The copper-bronze color reads clearly against the dark blade and black wrap, making the tsuba the visual anchor of the entire piece.
The saya is hardwood with a gloss black lacquer finish. What sets it apart is the bold white splatter pattern distributed across the lower two-thirds of the scabbard surface - irregular, high-contrast marks that read as intentional brushwork against the deep gloss black. A black sageo cord ties off at the kurikata fitting, and the kojiri tip cap matches the dark overall palette. This aesthetic is consistent with our Traditional Samurai Sword lineup that balances classical construction with distinctive visual character.
Overall length is 41 inches, weight is 3 lbs, and the piece ships in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch package at 4 lbs shipping weight. The sword stand is not included. This katana is suited for collectors and enthusiasts who want a koshirae-style piece with strong visual identity - the tiger tsuba, white-splatter saya, and full black kitting make it immediately recognizable on any display.
