Manganese Steel Katana with Red Lacquer Saya in Black-Red Tsuka - Chrysanthemum Tsuba Full Tang Replica

The blade is crafted from manganese steel and finished to a polished chrome tone, running a full 40.5 inches overall with a blade width of 1.26 inches. The full-tang construction extends the steel through the entire handle core, and the edge carries a precision-finished profile suited to display and handling. The bright, mirror-like surface catches light cleanly along the curve of the blade. For collectors interested in steel construction across different finishes, our Black Steel Katana collection offers a range of blade tones to compare.

The tsuka is wrapped in a black-and-red diamond ito pattern over a PU red samegawa base, combining two high-contrast colors into a traditional koshirae handle assembly. The wrapping is tight and even, with the red diamond windows of the ito revealing the samegawa beneath at each crossing point. Black alloy menuki fittings are tucked beneath the wrap at handle center, and a black kashira cap and fuchi collar complete the handle ends.

The tsuba is die-cast in black alloy in a chrysanthemum (kiku) petal silhouette - one of the most historically recognized motifs in Japanese sword fittings. The rounded petal cutouts frame the blade opening cleanly, and a gold-tone seppa washer seats visibly between the tsuba face and the fuchi, adding a warm metallic accent against the black alloy.

The saya is constructed from hardwood and finished in a natural lacquer coat in a bold, uniform red. Two circular mon medallions are mounted to the saya body in a matching dark red tone, spaced along the upper section for visual balance. A black sageo cord is tied at the kurikata for traditional carry attachment. The red saya against the polished blade and black handle creates the signature high-contrast color scheme this piece is built around.

At 3.2 lbs total weight with a 40.5-inch overall length, this katana replica is proportioned for wall display, cosplay, or koshirae-style collection arrangements. The full koshirae assembly - blade, tsuka, tsuba, and saya - is presented as a complete unit. Note that a sword stand is not included.
