Full Tang Katana Manganese Steel Blue Blade with Black Cherry Blossom Saya and White Ito

The blade on this katana is forged from high manganese steel and finished in a deep blue tone that runs from the base to the tip. Along the edge, a hand-finished hamon line creates a jagged, wave-like boundary between the blue body and the polished cutting edge - visually bold and precise in execution. The full tang construction locks the blade securely through the handle, ensuring the piece holds together as a unified whole. If you're drawn to distinctively finished blades, our Dark Blue Samurai Sword collection explores this aesthetic in depth.

The tsuka is built with a white ray-skin (samegawa) underlayer wrapped in black cord ito, forming the classic diamond-pattern binding that defines traditional Japanese koshirae. The contrast between the bright white samegawa peeking through the black wrap gives the handle a clean, two-tone look that carries through the sword's overall color scheme.

The tsuba is a plain black square guard - clean geometry with no ornamental cutwork, letting the blade and saya carry the visual weight. Iron fittings throughout maintain a consistent dark metallic tone, keeping the hardware understated and cohesive.

The saya is the defining element of this build. Crafted from hardwood with a natural lacquer finish in gloss black, the scabbard is decorated with white cherry blossom branches painted along its full length. The florals stand out sharply against the black ground, bringing a classic Japanese aesthetic directly into the design. A black sageo cord completes the saya. For more options in the Black Leather Handle Japanese Samurai Swords lineup, the collection offers several complementary pieces.
