- Forged from high manganese steel, the black-finished blade runs full tang through the handle, delivering solid structural integrity and a striking dark profile from tip to habaki.
- A hand-engraved wave pattern runs along the blade surface, paired with a visible hamon line - two distinct visual details that set this katana apart from standard production pieces.

- The saya is lacquered hardwood finished in black with gold vine inlay, secured by a black sageo cord - a cohesive design element that carries through the entire sword presentation.
- The tsuka is wrapped in black cord over PU samegawa, fitted with gold-accented menuki, producing a secure and visually consistent grip that completes the black-and-gold color story.

Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from high manganese steel and finished with a full black treatment, producing a deep, non-reflective surface that makes the hand-engraved wave pattern stand out sharply along the lower half of the blade. A visible hamon line traces the edge, adding a second layer of surface detail. At 40.5 inches overall with a 1.26-inch width, the proportions follow traditional katana geometry. Each piece is individually handcrafted, so minor variations in surface finish and hamon character are expected. Browse the full range in our High quality Samurai Sword collection for comparison.
The tsuka is constructed over a full-tang core and wrapped in black cord using a traditional diamond pattern over PU samegawa. Gold-accented menuki are set into the wrap at the standard mid-grip position, adding a fine decorative detail without disrupting the clean black profile. The handle delivers a firm, balanced grip suited to display handling and posing.
The tsuba is a circular iron piece finished in black, featuring ornate scroll cutwork with gold highlights visible through the negative space. A gold-toned habaki sits at the base of the blade, bridging the transition between blade and fittings. The fuchi and kashira carry the same black-and-gold tone, keeping the koshirae visually unified from tip to pommel.
The saya is built from hardwood with a full lacquer finish in black, decorated with a gold vine inlay pattern that wraps organically along its length. The black sageo cord is tied in a traditional knot at the kurigata, matching the tsuka wrap and completing the sword's consistent black-and-gold color story. The lacquer surface provides protection during storage and display.
At 3.17 lb and 40.5 inches total, this katana fits comfortably within standard display configurations. It is a handcrafted collectible suited for koshirae enthusiasts, Japanese sword study, and themed display. Note: sword stand or holder is not included. This piece is part of the Camo Manganese Steel Katana series for collectors exploring manganese steel construction.
