Product Details

The blade is forged from high manganese steel and finished in a deep dark blue tone, with a hand-engraved wave motif etched along the surface that catches light from every angle. A visible hamon line traces the edge, giving the blade a layered, dramatic silhouette. The steel is individually treated to achieve a balance of durability and hardness suited for a full-tang construction at 40.5 inches overall.

The tsuka is wrapped in white genuine rayskin (samegawa) beneath white diamond-pattern ito cord, a classic construction that keeps the grip firm and the aesthetic clean. Gold-tone alloy menuki accent the handle at traditional placements, reinforcing the koshirae-style finish. The handle assembly connects seamlessly to the full-tang blade with no flex or gap.

The gold-tone alloy tsuba features an ornate open-work scroll design - delicate cutouts forming a flowing pattern across the surface. Sitting between the white tsuka and the dark blue blade, the gold guard creates a deliberate three-color contrast that defines the sword's visual identity. The habaki collar is finished to match, holding the blade securely in the saya.

The hardwood saya is lacquered in a deep black-blue base and decorated with a hand-applied blue flower splash pattern - irregular clusters of color that make each scabbard uniquely finished. A blue-and-white striped sageo cord is tied at the kurikata, completing the koshirae set. For collectors interested in the broader range of Traditional Katana, the saya work here reflects the same attention to surface finish found across classical Japanese sword furniture.

Overall length is 40.5 in, blade width 1.26 in, thickness 0.275 in, and total weight 3.17 lb. The sword is handmade by experienced swordsmiths using time-tested methods, and because each piece is individually assembled, minor variations in color and pattern are natural and expected. Sword stand not included.

Frequently Asked Questions

What steel is this katana made from?
The blade is forged from high manganese steel, finished in a dark blue tone with individual hardness treatment. A visible hamon line runs along the edge, and the full-tang construction spans 40.5 in overall at 3.17 lb.
What makes the blue blade finish distinctive?
A hand-engraved wave motif runs the length of the dark blue blade, creating depth and texture that shifts under light. Combined with the visible hamon line and 0.275-in thickness, it gives the blade a layered, high-contrast look not common on standard katana replicas.
How are the tsuba and saya designed on this katana?
The gold-tone alloy tsuba uses open-work ornate scroll cutouts, contrasting sharply against the white tsuka and dark blade. The hardwood saya is lacquered black-blue with a hand-applied blue flower splash pattern - each piece varies slightly - finished with a blue-and-white striped sageo cord.
