1060 Carbon Steel Chokuto Sword with Black Skull Tsuba - Purple Ito & Galaxy Saya
- Blade forged from 1060 carbon steel with a precision-finished chrome edge and clean straight profile - the no-curve chokuto geometry delivers a distinct silhouette true to ancient Japanese straight-sword tradition.
- Full-tang construction runs the steel continuously from tip through handle, ensuring structural integrity across the entire 41-inch length and 4-pound build.
- Black iron tsuba features an openwork skull motif with contrasting silver accent details, flanked by silver habaki - a striking contrast against the purple ito wrapping.
- Handle wrapped in purple cotton ito over black PU samegawa, offering a secure, non-slip grip with visible diamond-pattern menuki accents peeking through the binding.
- Hardwood lacquer saya finished in black with scattered blue and gold splatter detailing - a galaxy-inspired pattern that makes the scabbard a visual centerpiece on its own.
- Purple sageo cord ties off the saya with a traditional knot, completing the purple-and-black color story that runs from tsuka to sheath.

Product Details
The blade is forged from 1060 carbon steel, ground to a straight chokuto profile with no curve and finished to a bright chrome polish. Without a traditional hamon, the steel presents a clean, mirror-like surface that highlights the geometry of the tip and the sharpened edge line. At 41 inches overall and 4 pounds, the sword carries well in hand and displays equally well on a wall mount or stand.
The tsuka is built over a full-tang steel core, ensuring the handle and blade move as a single unit. Black PU samegawa provides the base layer, wrapped over with purple cotton ito in a traditional diamond pattern. Copper menuki fixtures are visible through the wrap, adding a subtle detail layer to the grip construction.

The black iron tsuba is the most eye-catching hardware piece on this sword. The circular guard features an openwork skull motif cut through the iron, with silver-tone accents filling the negative space. A silver habaki collar sits between the tsuba and the blade, creating a clean transition from guard to steel.
The hardwood lacquer saya is finished in deep black with blue and gold splatter detailing scattered across its length - the effect reads as a galaxy or starfield pattern depending on the light angle. Purple sageo cord wraps the saya and ties off in a traditional knot near the koiguchi, echoing the purple ito on the handle and pulling the full color scheme together.
At 41 inches overall with a shipping weight of 5 pounds, this chokuto is suited for collection display, costume use, or as a shelf centerpiece for fans of distinctive Japanese sword aesthetics. The sword stand is not included. This piece ships in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch package.
