Product Details

The blade on this katana is forged from 1060 carbon steel, running full-tang from tip to pommel for solid structural integrity. The surface carries a skull-pattern graphic print across a white ground - a monochrome imagery that covers both the blade and the matching saya, giving the piece a visually unified, unmistakable identity. Every 1060 Steel Katana in this line is individually handcrafted by seasoned swordsmiths applying proven construction methods, so minor variations in pattern placement and finish are natural to each piece.

The tsuka is wrapped in white cord over white PU samegawa in a traditional diamond-pattern braid. Gold-tone alloy menuki accent pieces are seated beneath the wrap at the midpoint, adding depth and a warm metallic contrast against the white ground. The overall grip aesthetic is crisp and high-contrast, clean in the hand.

The tsuba is the visual centerpiece of the koshirae assembly. Cast in alloy with a dark oxidized finish, it features a detailed skull-and-crossbones motif rendered in gold-tone relief against a pierced black ground. The gold and black combination of the tsuba pulls together the warm metal accents of the menuki and the monochrome palette of the saya and blade.

The hardwood saya is finished in a white lacquer base and carries the same skull-pattern print as the blade, creating a fully matched set. A black-and-white braided sageo cord is fitted to the kurikata, completing the monochrome color story across the entire piece. Paired with the matching saya, this makes a striking Natural Wood Scabbard Japanese Samurai Sword set worth displaying.

Overall length is 40.5 in, blade width 1.26 in, and total weight 3.2 lb. The sword stand or holder is not included. Each piece is individually handmade, so specifications and pattern placement may vary slightly from sword to sword.
