Product Details

The blade on this katana is forged from manganese steel and finished in a deep matte black, with a hand-etched spider web hamon pattern running the full length of the nagasa. The geometric line-work catches light along the flat and creates a dramatic visual contrast against the darkened surface. At 40.5 inches overall with a blade width of 1.26 inches, the proportions follow classic katana geometry while the full-tang construction keeps weight distribution stable through the tsuka.

The tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped in PU black samegawa, then bound with black cotton cord in a traditional diamond hishigami pattern. White menuki ornaments are set beneath the wrap at regular intervals, offering subtle contrast against the all-black handle color. The result is a grip that reads clean from a distance but reveals layered detail up close.

The tsuba is cast in silver-toned alloy and shaped with an openwork design - ornate scroll and floral relief cut through the plate, giving it an airy, intricate look uncommon in this price tier. A gold-tone habaki collar seats the blade into the guard in proper koshirae style, connecting blade and handle fittings with a warm metallic accent. Together, the silver tsuba and gold habaki create a deliberate tonal contrast that anchors the all-black color scheme.

The saya is crafted from hardwood and lacquered in a marble-style finish - a black base with scattered white and gray splashes distributed across the full length. A black-and-white sageo cord is wrapped near the koiguchi in a traditional knot style. Whether mounted horizontally or displayed vertically, the saya's surface pattern makes this piece visually distinct among Handmade Samurai Sword offerings.

Total weight is 3.17 lbs with a shipping weight of 4.4 lbs including packaging. Each piece is individually assembled by hand, so minor variation in the marble lacquer pattern and cord wrap spacing is inherent to the process. Sword stand not included.
