Blue Blade Manganese Steel Katana with Camouflage Saya and Dragon Tsuba - Gray Ito
- Forged from manganese steel, the dark blue blade runs full tang through the handle for solid construction and a refined hand-finished edge - total length 40.5 inches, weight 3.17 lbs.
- The saya is crafted from hardwood finished in a blue-black lacquer base layered with a blue-and-black camouflage pattern - a bold visual contrast paired with a blue braided sageo.
- Silver alloy tsuba features an intricate dragon motif in high relief, paired with a gold-tone seppa - details visible clearly in the close-up panel of the product image.
- Gray ito wrap over a white PU samegawa base forms the tsuka, secured with gold-accent menuki ornaments for grip texture and traditional koshirae styling.
- Each piece is individually handcrafted by experienced swordsmiths using centuries-old construction methods, so minor variations in finish and fit are inherent to the process.

Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from manganese steel and finished in a deep dark blue that catches light along the curvature of the cutting edge. At 40.5 inches overall with a blade width of 1.26 inches, it carries a full tang construction through the entire length of the handle - giving the piece a solid, balanced feel at 3.17 lbs. The steel receives a precision surface treatment to achieve consistent hardness and durability across the length of the nagasa.
The tsuka is built over a white PU samegawa base wrapped in gray ito cord in a traditional diamond pattern. Gold-toned menuki ornaments are seated beneath the wrap at two points along the grip, visible in the product image as small metallic accents that break the gray wrap cleanly. The overall handle construction follows classic koshirae assembly conventions.
The tsuba is cast in silver alloy and depicts a dragon in detailed high relief across its face - coiled and textured with a level of definition that reads clearly even at a distance. A gold-tone seppa separates the guard from the handle collar. For collectors interested in dragon-themed fittings, this piece sits naturally alongside others in the Dragon Samurai Sword collection.
The saya is made from hardwood and finished in a hardwood lacquer that produces a blue-black base coat. Over that base, a blue-and-black camouflage pattern is applied across the full length of the scabbard - transitioning from solid black near the koiguchi to a lighter blue-grey camouflage pattern toward the kojiri. A blue braided sageo is knotted at the kurikata, consistent with the cool-toned color palette across the entire piece.
At 40.5 inches overall and packaged at 43.3 x 3.93 x 3.14 inches, this katana is suited for display mounting or shelf presentation. As a Replica Katana, each unit is individually assembled by hand, so minor variation in wrap tension and finish tone is expected. Sword stand not included.
