1045 Carbon Steel Katana with Red Tsuka, Black Lacquer Saya - Chrysanthemum Tsuba Replica

The blade on this katana is forged from 1045 carbon steel and hand-finished to a bright chrome polish. A flowing hamon line traces the length of the edge, giving the steel a layered visual depth that reads clearly from across a room. At 40.5 inches overall with a 1.26-inch blade width, the proportions follow traditional tachi geometry while keeping the piece manageable at 3.2 lb. If you're exploring our Featured Japanese Katana lineup, this one stands out for its anime-inspired colorway and clean blade finish.

The tsuka is wrapped in bright red ito cord over a black ray-skin (samegawa) base. The diamond pattern in the wrap is tight and consistent, with small alloy menuki seated beneath at regular intervals. Red fuchi and kashira fittings cap both ends, tying the handle color together without any visual break.

A gold-tone habaki collar sits flush against the base of the blade, transitioning into a circular black tsuba cast in a chrysanthemum motif. The floral relief is crisp and deeply carved, with the matte black finish making the petal detail pop. Three circular cutouts on the gold seppa add a graphic accent that echoes the spotted menuki pattern on the handle - a detail directly drawn from the Law sword aesthetic in One Piece.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and coated in a high-gloss black lacquer. Three red painted stripe clusters run diagonally across the scabbard surface, giving it an aggressive, graphic quality that contrasts well against the matte iron tsuba. A red sageo cord is knotted at the koiguchi with a traditional wrap, matching the handle ito for a cohesive red-and-black presentation.
