Product Details

The blade on this katana is forged from 1060 carbon steel and finished to a warm golden tone that catches light along the entire 41-inch length. Full-tang construction means the steel runs continuously from tip through the base of the handle, giving the piece structural integrity alongside its visual appeal. The hand-finished edge follows the natural curvature of the blade, and the clean kissaki tip is clearly visible in the detail shots. Collectors drawn to distinctive blade coloring will find this piece a strong addition alongside other offerings in the 1060 Carbon Steel Katana category.

The tsuka is wrapped in a classic black-and-white ito pattern over white same (rayskin), producing the bold diagonal stripe visible throughout the product imagery. The contrast between the white rayskin underlayer and the black cord creates a graphic, high-visibility handle that complements the gold of the blade. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kashira, adding a traditional finishing detail at the pommel end.

The tsuba is black iron with deeply carved floral relief work - a multi-petal flower motif covers the surface in raised sculptural detail. Brass habaki and small menuki fittings tie the koshirae together, maintaining a consistent black-and-gold color story across every fitting from tsuba to kashira.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in high-gloss black lacquer that reads as deep and mirror-smooth in the main product image. The kurikata section features a speckled black-and-silver texture, adding surface variation against the otherwise uniform lacquer. Black sageo cord is looped through the kurikata in a traditional knot. The overall package measures 43 x 4 x 4 inches and ships at 4 lbs.

At 41 inches overall and 3 lbs, this katana is proportioned for prominent display. The combination of golden blade, black lacquer saya, and black-white tsuka creates a high-contrast three-tone presentation that stands out in any collection context. Note that a sword stand or holder is not included.

  • Forged from 1060 carbon steel, the golden blade delivers a warm amber-toned finish with a hand-finished edge and full-tang construction running the complete length of the handle.
  • The black-white tsuka wrap pairs contrasting cotton ito over white same (rayskin), secured with traditional black sageo cord for a visually striking two-tone grip pattern.
  • A black iron tsuba with raised floral relief carving anchors the koshirae fittings, flanked by brass habaki and matching menuki accents for a cohesive black-and-gold aesthetic.
  • The saya is crafted from hardwood finished in deep gloss black lacquer, with a black sageo cord and speckled black-silver kurikata adding refined texture to the scabbard.
  • Overall length 41 inches, weight 3 lbs - proportioned for display or collection, shipped in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch package weighing 4 lbs. Sword stand not included.
