Blue Blade Katana in High Manganese Steel with Black Hardwood Saya and Gold Ornate Tsuba

The blade is forged from high manganese steel and finished in a deep blue that shifts from cobalt at the spine to a bright silver edge. A wavy hamon line traces the entire length, adding visual depth and highlighting the hand-finished profile. The full-tang construction runs through the handle, giving the piece solid structural integrity from tip to pommel.

The handle pairs PU white samegawa under a tightly wound black leather ito. The diamond-shaped gaps in the wrap reveal the pale samegawa beneath, and gold menuki hardware is set at each crossing point - a contrast of warm metal against the dark braid that draws the eye immediately. The black kashira caps the tsuka with a clean, understated finish.

The gold-toned alloy tsuba is the most visually commanding fitting on this piece. Its surface is covered in raised ornate scroll relief work with layered botanical curves framing a central boss. The rich gold tone against the blue blade and black handle creates a three-way color dialogue that gives this katana its distinct character.

The black hardwood saya is lacquered to a smooth, even sheen and engraved with delicate white floral motifs - small blossoms and branching stems that run along the lower third of the scabbard. A black sageo cord is tied at the kurikata, completing the all-black saya in traditional fashion.

Overall length is 41 inches with a shipping weight of 5 lbs. Packaged in a 43 x 4 x 4-inch box.
