Product Details

The blade on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel and clay tempered, a process that creates the genuine hamon visible along the edge. Because each sword goes through hand-finishing individually, the hamon line varies slightly from piece to piece - no two are identical. The chrome finish on the nagasa contrasts cleanly against the all-white components, giving the sword a striking visual profile that holds up at close inspection.

The tsuka is wrapped in white ito cord over a white ray-skin (samegawa) base, with alloy fittings at the habaki and fuchi. The full tang construction means the blade steel runs the complete length of the handle, contributing to the sword's solid 4 lb weight and overall structural integrity.

The tsuba is an openwork chrysanthemum design in a silver and gold two-tone finish. The pierced floral pattern is detailed on both faces, and the gold accent ring at the center ties into the gold habaki collar - a deliberate design choice that unifies the fittings along the length of the sword.

The saya is crafted from hardwood with a white lacquer finish and fitted with a matching white sageo cord. A color artwork panel featuring an anime-style character portrait is inlaid on the lower section of the saya, adding a collector-oriented visual element that distinguishes this piece within the White Hardwood Japanese Samurai Swords category.

At 41 inches overall length and 4 lbs, this is a full-size katana built to traditional koshirae proportions. Each piece is handmade individually, so minor variation in hamon pattern and fitting finish is expected and inherent to the production process. Sword stand not included.
