Product Details

The blade on this katana is forged from manganese steel and finished to a chrome polish, with a hand-etched eagle design running along the flat from mid-blade toward the tip. The imagery stands out clearly against the bright steel surface, giving the nagasa a thematic focal point that reads well both sheathed and displayed. At 41 inches overall and 4 lbs, the proportions follow a standard katana koshirae profile. Browse our Handcrafted Samurai Sword collection for similar full-tang builds.

The tsuka construction uses a white PU samegawa base wrapped with black cotton cord in a classic diamond-gap ito pattern. White menuki accents are visible through the gaps in the wrap, adding a secondary layer of detail without overcrowding the handle. The grip is firm and consistent along its full length, making the sword comfortable to hold for display handling.

The tsuba is cast from alloy in a rounded, multi-lobed silhouette reminiscent of a chrysanthemum form. The face features an ornate scroll relief carving in white finish - a clean, traditional design that bridges the handle and blade without visual clutter. The habaki and collar fittings are finished in matching white tones, keeping the transition zone cohesive.

The hardwood saya is finished in a layered lacquer scheme: the upper portion is deep black, transitioning sharply into a vivid gold-yellow toward the kojiri, with red and teal splatter accents applied over the gold zone. The sageo is black cord, tied at the kurigata in a standard presentation knot. The multi-color saya finish is the most visually striking element of the piece and the primary differentiator within the Traditional Katana lineup.

Packaged in a 43 x 4 x 4-inch box at 5 lbs shipping weight, this katana ships securely for collectors and display enthusiasts. Sword stand is not included. The eagle-blade motif, black-to-gold saya, and white scroll tsuba combine into a cohesive koshirae set suited for wall mounting, shelf display, or themed collection curation.

  • The tsuka is wrapped in black cotton cord over a white PU samegawa base in a traditional diamond-gap pattern, offering a secure, non-slip grip with a classic koshirae aesthetic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What steel is used in this katana blade?
The blade is forged from manganese steel and finished to a chrome polish. It is a full-tang construction running the full length of the handle. No hamon is present on this model - the visual detail comes from the hand-etched eagle motif along the flat of the blade.
How is the black-to-gold saya finish applied?
The hardwood saya is lacquered in two distinct zones: deep black on the upper section transitioning to a gold-yellow finish toward the kojiri tip, with red and teal splatter accents layered over the gold zone. The hardwood base is sealed beneath the lacquer for a durable surface finish.
What does the tsuba look like on this katana?
