Ghost of Tsushima Katana and Tanto Set - Jin Sakai Sword Replica Manganese Steel Blue Scabbard

Jin Sakai's katana is the weapon you spend the entire game with. From the opening battle on Komoda Beach through the liberation of Tsushima, this blade is as much a character as Jin himself. Unlike anime swords with exaggerated colors and fantasy designs, the Ghost of Tsushima katana is grounded in historical samurai aesthetics - the kind of sword that could have existed in 1274 during the Mongol invasion. That restraint is exactly what makes it resonate with players who appreciate traditional Japanese craftsmanship over stylized fiction.


This is a two-piece set: the katana and a matching tanto. Both are forged from high manganese steel with full-tang construction and sharpened edges. The deep blue lacquered hardwood scabbards have an ink-wash quality to them that references the game's signature visual style - Kurosawa mode in physical form. The alloy tsuba features intricately carved patterns, and the white cord wrapping over black samegawa on both handles gives the set a unified, period-appropriate look. Everything about this set says historical samurai rather than fantasy weapon.


The decision to use manganese steel rather than 1045 carbon steel is worth noting. Manganese steel offers higher hardness and edge retention, which matters because Ghost of Tsushima buyers tend to be the most quality-conscious segment of the anime/game sword market. They're often crossover buyers who also look at traditional Japanese katanas and care about blade performance, not just visual accuracy. Multiple reviewers confirm the blades arrived sharp and well-oiled, with one calling them "super sharp and well made" and another noting the product was "sharp" and "as described."


The set landed exactly right with its target audience. One buyer said it was "just same to the game." A French reviewer specifically praised the resemblance to "Jin's katana and kodachi" with nice secure packaging. The strongest testimonial came from a buyer who gave the set as a gift - the recipient "was so enthralled by the quality he would not put them down all night." For first-time sword buyers, this set has proven to be a compelling entry point. Two separate reviewers noted this was their "first katana ever" and both gave full marks, with one saying "money well spent" and the other recommending TrueKatana without reservation.


At $299 for two swords, the set prices out to under $150 per blade - comparable to individual anime katanas that include only one sword. The katana and tanto displayed together on a double stand recreate the traditional daisho pairing that samurai actually carried. If you've spent hours in photo mode capturing the perfect Tsushima sunset with Jin's sword drawn, this set puts that image on your wall.
