1060 Carbon Steel Katana with Hamon Blade, Black Lacquer Saya & Orange Tsuka Wrap

The blade on this katana is forged from 1060 carbon steel and hand-finished to reveal a flowing hamon line along its edge - the undulating temper pattern visible in the detail shots adds authentic character to the chrome-polished surface. At 40.5 inches overall with a 1.26-inch-wide blade and 0.28-inch spine, the geometry reflects classic Japanese tachi proportions. Collectors drawn to Hand Forged Katana designs will recognize the careful profile work here.

The tsuka is wrapped in orange cotton cord over a black PU samegawa base, creating the diamond-pattern lozenge windows visible throughout the grip. The wrap is firm and evenly spaced, tapering toward the kashira. Two black silk menuki are seated beneath the cord at traditional positions, adding texture and grip reference points.

A gold-tone alloy tsuba defines the transition between blade and handle. The geometric basket-weave pattern pressed into its face is a standout detail, complemented by a gold habaki that seats snugly against the saya mouth. The tsuba's circular form and warm gold color read clearly against the dark saya in every angle of the product photography.

The saya is built from hardwood and finished in a natural black lacquer that shows the characteristic speckled surface texture seen in the main image - small variations in the lacquer coat give it visual depth rather than a flat painted look. An orange sageo is tied at the kurigata in a structured knot, matching the tsuka wrap color precisely and tying the full 1060 Clay Tempered Katana koshirae together visually.

Overall dimensions: 40.5 in length, 1.26 in blade width, 0.28 in spine thickness, 3.2 lb. Packaged in a 43.4 x 3.9 x 3.14 in box at a shipping weight of 3.4 lb. Sword stand not included. A well-proportioned collectible replica that presents authentically whether wall-mounted or displayed on a stand.
