Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel and carries a genuine hamon line - the undulating temper pattern visible along the shinogi that results from the differential hardening process. The chrome-polished surface brings out both the hamon detail and the hand-engraved dragon motif that runs along the blade flat, making the steel itself a canvas for the piece's overall dragon theme. For collectors interested in Blue Steel Sword designs, this example delivers on both material quality and visual coherence.;
The tsuka is wrapped in blue ito over genuine white ray-skin (samegawa), using a traditional diamond-pattern braid. White menuki accents show through the wrap at even intervals, and the cotton ito provides both grip texture and an elegant color anchor for the blue-dominant color scheme. The full-tang construction runs the complete length of the handle for structural integrity throughout.
The gold-tone circular tsuba is the visual centerpiece of the fittings. Cast with a coiling dragon in high relief against an open lattice background, it pairs with matching gold-tone habaki and seppa to create a cohesive fitting set. The gold against the blue ito and chrome blade produces a sharp, high-contrast color dynamic that defines this sword's aesthetic. Collectors browsing Gold Tsuba Katana will recognize the quality of the casting detail here.
The saya is constructed from hardwood with a deep blue lacquer finish. The surface is decorated with a hand-painted dragon scene rendered in gold and tan on the blue ground - cresting waves and dragon figures in a style consistent with traditional Japanese lacquerware. A blue sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata in a classic braid pattern, with a dark oval bead toggle completing the knot.
This katana measures 41 inches overall and weighs 4 pounds. The package dimensions are 43 x 4 x 4 inches at a shipping weight of 5 pounds. The dragon theme is carried consistently across tsuba, blade engraving, and saya painting, making it a unified piece suited for display or collection. Sword stand is not included.
