Manganese Steel Katana with Teal Lacquer Saya, Dark Blue Tsuka Wrap & Silver Ornate Tsuba

The blade on this katana is forged from high manganese steel and finished to a smooth chrome polish, reflecting light with an even, mirror-like quality from tip to spine. At 40.5 inches overall length and 1.26 inches at its widest point, the geometry is proportioned in the classic tachi-influenced katana style. The full-tang construction anchors the blade steel solidly into the handle core - a structural detail that makes a real difference in how the piece handles and displays. For collectors exploring Marble Manganese Steel Katana options, this build quality represents a consistent standard across the category.

The tsuka is wrapped in dark navy cord using a traditional diamond-pattern tsuka-maki technique over a PU samegawa base that mimics the texture of genuine rayskin. The cord crosses are tight and evenly spaced, revealing small gold-tone menuki ornaments tucked beneath the binding at symmetrical points along the handle - a traditional touch that adds visual depth to the dark blue wrap.

The silver alloy tsuba is the hardware highlight of this build. Circular in form, it carries engraved ornate scroll motifs across its face - flowing botanical curves that complement the cooler blue and teal color palette of the full koshirae. The fuchi collar at the base of the handle mirrors the same silver finish, bridging the tsuba and tsuka cleanly.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in a teal lacquer coating with a pronounced basket-weave surface texture that adds grip and visual structure. A dark blue sageo cord is attached at the kurikata and tied in a neat decorative knot with a small gold-tone ornament at the loop - a subtle detail visible in the close-up photography. The teal-to-navy color pairing across saya and handle gives the full koshirae a cohesive, intentional look. Collectors interested in similar Blue Dragon Samurai Sword aesthetics will find this color combination immediately familiar.
