Product Details
The blade is forged from high manganese steel and finished to a bright chrome polish that makes the hand-etched lightning engraving stand out clearly from base to tip. The geometric linework runs continuously along the flat of the blade, giving this piece a sharp visual identity that separates it from plain-finish replicas. Full-tang construction means the steel runs uninterrupted through the handle, contributing to the sword's solid 3 lb feel.

The tsuka is wrapped in black leather ito over a white PU samegawa base. The diamond-lace pattern of the ito is neatly executed, holding the wrap tight across the full length of the handle. Gold-toned menuki are set beneath the wrap, adding subtle metallic highlights visible between the crossing cords.
A geometric black iron tsuba anchors the assembly at the guard. Its open-cut rectangular slots create a lattice effect, framed by a gold-accented habaki where blade meets guard. The silver habaki collar provides a clean visual transition between chrome steel and black ironwork, tying together the sword's overall color palette.
The saya is shaped from hardwood and coated in a deep black lacquer that shows no texture variation - a smooth, even finish consistent with quality koshirae presentation. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata, which features a small gold-tone accent that echoes the menuki and habaki details elsewhere on the fitting. Collectors who prefer this style of all-black mounting will find additional options in our Black Katana collection.
Overall length is 40.5 inches with a blade width of 1.26 inches and a spine thickness of 0.196 inches. The sword weighs 3 lb and ships in a 43.3 x 3.93 x 3.14 inch package. Sword stand is not included. Designed in koshirae style for collectors and enthusiasts who value traditional Japanese sword aesthetics with bold graphic detail.
