Product Details

The blade on this katana is forged from 1060 carbon steel and finished in a deep, saturated blue that runs edge to spine across the full 41-inch overall length. What makes it visually distinct is the hand-etched wave engraving that traces the flat of the blade from habaki to tip - fine white linework against the blue ground that catches light with every shift in angle. The blade is precision-finished with a full tang construction, meaning the steel extends completely through the handle without interruption. If you're drawn to Handmade Japanese Katana with strong visual identity, this blue wave build stands out in any display setting.

The tsuka is built over that full tang core, wrapped in black cotton cord (ito) in a classic diamond-pattern over white PU samegawa. The hishigami inserts keep the wrap tight and geometrically precise, while the black-on-white contrast reads cleanly from a distance. The handle grip length accommodates a two-handed hold comfortably at 4 lbs total weight.

The tsuba is where this koshirae makes its boldest statement. Cast in a gold-toned alloy, it carries an ornate scroll motif with layered relief - curling foliage and wave forms that echo the blade engraving. The warm gold tone against the matte black handle and vivid blue blade creates a three-tone palette that feels deliberate and cohesive rather than decorative-by-default.

The saya is hardwood lacquered in solid matte black, fitted with a black sageo cord tied at the kurikata. The gold-tone kurikata fitting ties back to the tsuba's metal color, pulling the whole set together visually. The saya's textured finish absorbs light rather than reflecting it, letting the blue blade do the visual work at draw. For collectors exploring Full Tang Samurai Sword options with strong koshirae design, this piece delivers a complete, well-matched set.

Overall dimensions: 41 inches in length, 4 lbs. Ships in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch package at 5 lbs shipping weight. Sword stand is not included. This is a replica collectible intended for display.
