Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from high manganese steel and finished in a deep, uniform black that makes the hand-etched white flower engravings pop along the entire length of the nagasa. Running full tang from tip to pommel, the 40.5-inch construction weighs in at 3.17 lb - substantial enough to feel purposeful in hand without sacrificing balance. Each engraving is individually applied, so the floral pattern carries a handcrafted quality you can see up close.
The tsuka is wrapped in black cord ito over PU black samegawa, using a traditional diamond-pattern binding that stays tight and provides a secure, consistent grip. Alloy fittings at the kashira and fuchi carry the same dark tone as the handle, while black menuki accent pieces are set under the ito wrap in the classic koshirae position.
The tsuba is one of the most visually striking components on this piece - a gold-tone alloy guard with ornate scroll cutwork and an antique patina finish. The openwork lattice pattern and detailed surface texture give it a layered, almost sculptural quality that stands out against the all-black surrounding fittings. This is part of what makes this katana a strong choice among High Quality Japanese Sword options for collectors who want visual complexity without sacrificing cohesion.
The saya is crafted from hardwood lacquered in black, with vine and floral relief patterns pressed into the surface across its full length. A braided black sageo cord is tied at the koiguchi, adding a traditional finishing detail. The textured relief on the scabbard echoes the engraving theme on the blade, making the overall presentation feel intentional and unified rather than assembled from unrelated parts.
Overall dimensions sit at 40.5 inches long, 1.26 inches wide, and 0.275 inches at the spine, with a shipping weight of 4.4 lb. As part of our Black Steel Katana collection, this piece suits collectors drawn to all-black aesthetics with gold accent hardware. Note: sword stand or holder is not included.
