Product Details
The blade of this katana is forged from high manganese steel and finished in a deep, uniform black that gives it an unmistakable presence. Running the full 40.5 inches as a full-tang construction, the blade is precision-finished and carries hand-applied white flower engravings along the flat - delicate botanical motifs that contrast sharply against the dark steel surface. The blade measures 1.26 inches at its widest and the sword weighs 3.17 lb, offering a substantial feel in hand. For collectors interested in similar manganese steel pieces, our Natural-wood Manganese Steel Katana collection offers a complementary range of styles.
The tsuka is constructed with a black PU ray-skin (samegawa) base wrapped in black cord using a traditional diamond-pattern braid. Gold-tone menuki ornaments are set into the wrap at the grip, adding a refined accent against the otherwise all-black handle. The overall tsuka construction follows classical koshirae assembly, with each component fitted and secured individually by hand.
The tsuba is a black iron piece featuring openwork dragon carving - the negative-space cutwork reveals the dragon motif in fine relief detail. A gold-tone habaki collar sits at the blade base, bridging the tsuba and the blade with a warm metallic contrast that anchors the fitting set visually.
The saya is crafted from hardwood finished with a natural lacquer coat in deep black, producing a smooth, gloss surface. A black-and-white braided sageo is knotted at the kurigata, the two-tone cord providing the single strongest color contrast point in the complete koshirae set. The lacquer finish and cord selection give this piece a cohesive, formal presentation quality.
At 40.5 inches overall and 3.17 lb, this katana is built to the proportions of a full-size Japanese sword. Handcrafted individually by experienced swordsmiths, minor variations between pieces are inherent to the hand-production process. The sword stand is not included. For those assembling a full display, our Black Samurai Armor collection pairs naturally with this piece's all-black aesthetic.
