Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel and finished to a high-polish chrome shine, with a visible real hamon running along the temper line. That undulating wave pattern is a direct result of the differential heat treatment process - each line is unique to the individual sword, making no two pieces exactly alike. The full tang construction extends through the entire handle, and at 41 inches overall and 4 pounds, the sword carries the kind of presence that serious collectors immediately recognize.
The tsuka is wrapped in black cotton ito over real white samegawa (rayskin), forming the classic diamond-window pattern visible in the product images. The tight, even spacing of the wrap reflects careful hand assembly, and the black-white color split carries through to the matching sageo cord. Copper fittings (fuchi and kashira) anchor both ends of the handle with warm metallic contrast.
The tsuba is cast in a bronze-gold finish and features an open-work dragon relief carving with intricate scrollwork surrounding the central motif. Up close, the depth of the carving is immediately apparent - this is not a flat stamped piece but a fully sculpted guard with layered detail. As part of the broader Samurai Sword Replica tradition, the dragon theme carries specific iconographic weight tied to strength and imperial symbolism in Japanese and East Asian culture.
The saya is constructed from hardwood with a black lacquer finish, providing a firm, protective fit for the blade. The black-white sageo cord wraps the mouth of the saya in the same two-tone palette as the handle wrap, pulling the full koshirae together into a cohesive visual set. The high-gloss lacquer surface reflects light cleanly and holds up well for shelf or wall display.
At 41 inches in total length and shipping at 5 pounds in a 43 x 4 x 4 in package, this katana is sized and weighted for a genuine koshirae presentation. Each sword is individually handmade by artisan swordsmiths, so minor variations in hamon pattern and wrap tension are inherent to the process. Sword stand not included.
