Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from manganese steel and finished in a deep black coating, running 40.5 inches in overall length with a blade width of 1.26 inches. A wave engraving runs along the surface, catching light at different angles and giving the dark steel a layered visual character. The full-tang construction ensures the blade and handle form a single continuous piece of steel. Part of our Black Steel Blade Katana collection, this piece pairs bold aesthetics with solid construction.
The tsuka is built over a hardwood core wrapped in black ray-skin (samegawa), then finished with red cord in a traditional diagonal wrap pattern. The result is a high-contrast red-and-black spiral that feels as intentional as it looks - tight, even, and visually striking against the dark blade.
A black-and-gold geometric tsuba sits at the junction of blade and handle. The open lattice cutwork pattern creates depth without adding bulk, while the gold-tone habaki beneath it adds a warm metallic transition. The fuchi and kashira fittings continue the black-and-gold theme, keeping the hardware cohesive.
The saya is lacquered hardwood finished in a red-and-gold dragon-themed pattern - a bold mix of warm tones that contrast directly with the black blade. Black-and-red sageo cord wraps and knots at the kurikata, with decorative stone beads accenting the binding. The overall red-gold-black color story runs consistently from tip to tip. As a Handmade Sword, each piece reflects individual craftsmanship in the finishing and wrapping details.
At 3.17 lb and 40.5 inches overall, this katana has genuine presence on a display stand or mounted on a wall. Packaged at 43.3 x 3.93 x 3.14 inches for shipping - stand not included.
