Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from 1060 carbon steel and ground to a polished chrome finish, producing a clean, mirror-bright surface that runs from the yokote to the tip. The steel provides reliable hardness for a display-focused piece while keeping the profile visually sharp and well-proportioned. No visible hamon is present, keeping the aesthetic sleek and modern. For collectors interested in the wider range of 1060 Steel Katana options, several companion pieces share this foundation.
The tsuka is assembled over a full-tang steel core, meaning the blade steel extends uninterrupted through the handle for solid structural balance. Black braided cord is wrapped in a traditional diamond-over-diamond pattern across red PU samegawa, creating a high-contrast black-and-red grip that photographs and displays beautifully. Gold-toned menuki are set beneath the wrapping at the center grip, adding a subtle ornamental detail visible between the cord passes.
Separating blade from handle is a circular black iron tsuba with an open geometric cutout pattern - four symmetrical voids cut into the guard give it a bold, graphic silhouette without excess weight. The matte black finish ties directly into the handle cord and collar fittings, keeping the hardware palette cohesive.
The saya is the most visually distinctive element of this build. Hardwood forms the core, finished with a lacquer coat printed in a white-and-black leopard spot pattern across the full length of the scabbard. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurikata, providing the traditional suspension loop in a color that anchors the bold print. The combination of graphic saya against the polished silver blade creates an intentionally unconventional contrast that makes this piece stand out among standard koshirae configurations.
Overall length measures 41 inches with a shipping weight of 4 lbs. The full koshirae fittings - tsuba, tsuka, saya, and sageo - are included as shown. A sword stand or wall mount is not included. This piece is suited for collectors and enthusiasts looking for a visually striking addition to a display, or anyone drawn to the leopard print aesthetic within traditional Japanese sword form.
