Golden Blade Manganese Steel Katana with Sakura Floral Engravings in Black Piano Lacquer Saya

This golden blade katana features a 28.74-inch manganese steel blade hardened to 58 HRC, finished with a warm golden tone that catches light along its full length. Delicate sakura floral engravings run along the blade surface, adding visual depth to the polished steel. The full tang construction ensures structural integrity from tip to pommel, making this a solid collectible piece at 4.4 lbs total weight.

The 10.23-inch tsuka is built on a wood core wrapped in white PU samegawa, then bound with alternating black and gold ito in a traditional diamond-pattern wrap. The contrast between white rayskin and dark binding creates a striking visual rhythm, while the generous handle length accommodates a firm two-handed grip.

At the junction of blade and handle sits a real copper tsuba finished in gold and silver tones. The guard features an openwork plum blossom design with five-petal flowers set within a curved frame - a motif that echoes across the entire piece. This is a standout example from the Gold Manganese Steel Katana collection, where traditional floral themes meet golden-finished blades.

The 30.7-inch hardwood saya is coated in glossy black piano lacquer, providing a mirror-like surface that contrasts beautifully with the golden blade. Hand-painted golden sakura branches cascade across the saya body, tying together the floral theme carried by the tsuba and blade engravings. A black and white sageo wraps neatly around the kurikata, completing the saya assembly.

Measuring 41 inches overall, this katana brings together golden-toned steel, floral artistry, and traditional Japanese sword proportions into a cohesive display piece. Every component - from the engraved blade to the lacquered saya - reflects the sakura and plum blossom motif. For collectors exploring similar pieces, the Gold Blade Manganese Steel Katana collection offers additional options in this style.
