Product Details
The blade of this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel - a high-carbon tool steel prized for its edge retention and hardness. The surface carries a hand-finished black treatment that deepens the visual contrast along the blade, while a real hamon line traces the temper boundary from habaki to kissaki. The full-tang construction runs the steel completely through the handle core, giving the piece solid structural balance.

The tsuka is assembled over a wood core and wrapped in PU red samegawa beneath the ito. Black-and-red tsuka-ito is applied in the traditional diamond-pattern wrap, alternating color at each crossover point to produce the high-contrast geometric banding visible along the full grip length. The kashira and fuchi fittings complete the handle assembly with a complementary tone.
The tsuba is one of the most visually distinctive elements of this build. Cast in gold-toned iron, it features a circular openwork frame filled with a coiled snake relief - scales, body curves, and head detail are all rendered with depth typical of koshirae-style fittings. The snake theme carries strong iconographic weight in Japanese sword aesthetics, representing transformation and protective energy.
The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in a red lacquer coat that shows subtle texture variation across the surface - not a flat painted finish, but a lacquer application with natural depth. The black-and-red sageo cord is tied through the kurikata in a decorative knot, anchoring the cord presentation and contributing to the overall red-and-black color scheme.

Overall length is 41 inches with a shipping weight of 5 pounds. The package ships in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box. The sword stand is not included. This piece is intended as a collectible replica representing traditional Japanese koshirae craftsmanship.
