Manganese Steel Katana with Blue Lacquered Saya - Full Tang Collectible Japanese Sword with Alloy Tsuba

This full tang katana features a manganese steel blade that has been hand-finished to a refined edge. The steel carries a bright, clean polish along its length, tapering to a precise kissaki tip. Manganese steel provides dependable toughness and edge retention, making this a noteworthy piece for any Manganese Steel Katana Sword collection.

The 11-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped in PU black samegawa, then bound tightly with blue cord in a traditional crosshatch pattern. Gold-tone menuki studs sit beneath the wrap, adding both visual interest and tactile grip points. The blue cord pops against the dark samegawa, creating a color contrast that carries through the entire sword.

A round alloy tsuba in a dark finish serves as the handguard, paired with a gold-tone habaki collar that seats the blade firmly into the saya. The tsuba's clean circular design keeps the profile elegant without competing with the saya's artwork.

The blue hardwood saya is the standout feature of this katana. Finished in premium natural lacquer, the scabbard surface is covered in intricate sculpted relief artwork depicting detailed face and mask motifs in deep blue and black tones. A blue and white braided sageo wraps around the kurikata, complementing the handle cord and unifying the overall color palette. This saya belongs among the finest in our Dark Blue Scabbard Japanese Samurai Swords collection.

At 40.5 inches overall length and 3.17 lbs, this katana is sized for display presence without being unwieldy. The full tang construction runs through the entire handle, secured with mekugi pins. Every fitting - from tsuba to kashira - has been assembled by hand, resulting in a cohesive collectible piece that balances traditional Japanese sword aesthetics with striking artistic detail.
