Manganese Steel Katana with Bronze Crane Tsuba - Black Leather Dragon Saya Full Tang Replica

The blade is ground from high manganese steel and brought to a bright chrome polish that runs cleanly from the hawatari to the kissaki. The geometry follows a traditional shinogi-zukuri profile - a defined ridge line, moderate curvature, and a crisp, hand-finished tip. Full tang construction means the steel extends uninterrupted into the handle, giving the piece solid balance and a planted feel in hand. For collectors exploring Marble Manganese Steel Katana options, this piece represents the cleaner, mirror-finish side of the manganese family.

The tsuka is built over a hardwood core and wrapped in black ito cord using a traditional diamond hishigami pattern. Beneath the cord sits black PU samegawa, providing both grip texture and visual depth. Gold-accent menuki ornaments are set into the wrap at traditional positions - small details that reward close inspection.

The tsuba is cast in bronze with a raised crane motif encircling the blade opening. The warm copper-brown tone of the bronze reads well against the otherwise all-black koshirae, functioning as the single warm accent in the color scheme. Matching bronze-toned fittings at the habaki reinforce the cohesion of the koshirae assembly.

The saya is constructed over a hardwood core and wrapped in black PU leather embossed with a repeating dragon-scale texture. The pattern runs the full length of the scabbard and gives the sheath strong visual presence even when displayed separately. A black sageo cord is fitted at the kurikata in the traditional position. This piece sits naturally alongside broader Real Japanese Sword display collections.

Overall length is 41 inches with a total weight of 3 lbs. Packaged in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box at 4 lbs shipping weight. The sword stand is not included. The bronze crane tsuba, dragon-scale leather saya, and mirror-polished manganese blade make this a visually cohesive koshirae piece for display or cosplay use.
