Product Details

The blade on this katana is ground from T10 carbon steel and hand-finished to bring out a real hamon - that flowing temper line along the cutting edge that separates a crafted piece from a factory prop. The steel's high carbon content gives it a dense, bright appearance, and the natural surface variation left by the finishing process keeps each blade visually distinct. At 40.5 inches overall with a 1.26-inch-wide nagasa, the proportions follow classical katana geometry without compromise.

The tsuka is built on a full-tang core, meaning the steel runs uninterrupted from tip to pommel. Black cotton ito wraps the handle in the traditional diamond-gap pattern over genuine white samegawa - the rough ray skin texture underneath prevents the wrap from shifting and adds an authentic material layer you can feel through the ito. Gold-tone fittings at the collar and pommel tie the handle visually to the guard.

The tsuba is cast in a circular openwork format with a dragon carved into the frame - coiling detail work fills the guard's face, and the gold-tone finish makes it read clearly against the dark blade and handle. A rectangular gold-tone habaki seats the blade cleanly into the guard, keeping lateral play to zero.

The saya is the piece that draws the eye first. Black lacquered hardwood forms the base, and across its face a hand-painted dragon unfolds in gold, red, and orange - scaled body, flame-edged claws, cloud formations near the tip. The gloss lacquer seals the artwork and gives the scabbard a deep reflective finish. A black-and-gold braided sageo cord wraps the kurigata opening, echoing the two-tone color story carried through handle and fittings. If you're building a Beautiful Katana Sword display, this piece holds its own as a visual anchor.

At 3.2 lb and packaged in a 43.4 x 3.9 x 3.14-inch box, this koshirae-style replica ships ready for wall mounting or shelf display. It belongs alongside other Decorative Samurai Sword pieces for collectors who want handcrafted materials and painted artwork rather than a plain factory finish.

  • Blade forged from T10 carbon steel with a hand-finished edge and a genuine hamon - the visible temper line runs the full length of the nagasa, giving each sword a one-of-a-kind pattern.
  • Full-tang construction keeps the blade solidly anchored through the tsuka, which is wrapped in black cord over real white samegawa (ray skin) for a secure, traditional grip feel.
  • Gold-tone iron tsuba features an openwork dragon motif with fine pierced detailing - paired with gold-tone fittings, the guard adds a striking accent between blade and handle.
  • Black lacquered hardwood saya is hand-painted with a vivid gold-and-red dragon scene against a gloss black field - detailed scales, flames, and clouds make the scabbard a showpiece on its own.
  • Black-and-gold sageo cord ties off the saya with a braided knot wrap, completing the two-tone color story that runs from tsuka to scabbard tip.
  • Overall length 40.5 in, blade width 1.26 in, weight 3.2 lb - substantial enough to feel authentic, balanced for shelf or wall display as a full koshirae replica.
