Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from manganese steel and finished in a deep blue tone, with a hand-finished hamon line tracing the edge from base to tip. The contrast between the silver-white edge bevel and the blue body gives the blade a layered, dimensional look that stands out in any display setting. At 41 inches overall and 4 lbs, this is a full-size piece built to the proportions of a traditional Japanese katana. If you're exploring the broader world of Blue Katana Sword designs, this piece represents one of the more cohesive executions of the all-blue koshirae concept.
The handle is built on a full tang core, with the steel extending through the entire tsuka for a solid, well-balanced feel in hand. Blue cotton cord is wrapped over white PU samegawa in a traditional diamond pattern, with the white underlayer visible between each cross - a two-tone detail that adds visual rhythm without breaking the blue theme. Gold-tone alloy menuki sit beneath the wrap at the pressure points.
The tsuba is an alloy piece finished in gold tone, featuring a bamboo forest relief - detailed stalks, leaves, and ground foliage carved in a circular composition. The gold against the blue handle creates a deliberate color break that draws the eye to the guard as the visual centerpiece of the koshirae. The habaki and fittings carry the same gold tone, keeping the transition between blade and handle consistent.
The saya is constructed from hardwood with a high-gloss blue lacquer finish - the same shade as the tsuka wrap and sageo. The blue cord sageo is tied at the kurikata in a compact knot, with a black-accented kojiri at the tip. The result is a complete set where every element - from kashira to saya tip - reads as a single intentional design rather than a mix of parts. For a curated view of similar pieces, the Blue Printed Blade Japanese Samurai Swords collection offers useful context.
Packaged in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box with a shipping weight of 5 lbs. Sword stand is not included.
