Product Details

The blade on this katana is forged from manganese steel and finished to a chrome-polished surface that catches light cleanly along its length. The steel runs full tang from tip through handle, giving the piece solid structural continuity. At 40.5 inches overall and 3.17 pounds, the proportions land within the traditional katana range.

The tsuka is wrapped in black cotton cord in a classic diamond-pattern ito over a white rayskin (samegawa) base. White menuki accents are visible through the gaps in the wrap, and gold-tone alloy fuchi and kashira fittings anchor each end of the handle - the combination of black cord and gold metal reads as sharp and deliberate.

The tsuba is a standout detail: a gold-toned alloy guard with ornate scroll engraving running across its face. The raised relief pattern covers the surface with layered botanical and scroll motifs, giving it a richness that reads well against both the polished blade and the dark handle wrap.

The saya is wrapped in brown rayskin material in a fine crosshatch texture, producing a warm, natural-looking surface with consistent grain across the full length of the scabbard. Black sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata fitting, with a small gold-tone koiguchi accent at the mouth of the saya. The brown and black color pairing carries through the full assembly.
