Product Details
The blade on this nodachi is forged from T10 carbon steel and hand-finished to reveal a natural hamon line along the edge - the wave-like temper boundary visible in the close-up shots reflects the steel's actual heat treatment rather than an etched imitation. The chrome-toned surface carries a subtle texture across the flat, typical of hand-worked high-carbon steel at this construction tier.
The handle is wrapped in a black-and-white braided ito over a black tsuka core, with two mekugi pins locking the full tang firmly in place. The wrap pattern follows a traditional diamond spacing, and the overall grip length suits the extended reach expected of a Nodachi Samurai Sword of this scale.
The tsuba is one of the most visually detailed components on this piece - cast in a gold-and-black finish with a dense floral and scroll relief pattern. Chrysanthemum-style blooms and curling tendrils fill the plate from edge to center, framed by a ridged border. The black fill between the raised gold elements gives it depth that reads clearly even at a distance.
The saya is finished in black lacquered hardwood, smooth and consistent along its full length. Gold-toned fittings at the koiguchi, kurikata, and kojiri match the tsuba's warm metal tone, while the black-and-white braided sageo ties off at the kurikata with hanging tassels - a detail consistent with traditional koshirae presentation. For more long-blade options in this style, see the Odachi Sword collection.
Overall length is 41 inches with a shipping weight of 6 pounds. The sword ships in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch package. No sword stand is included.
