Damascus Steel Tachi Sword with Black Lacquer Saya - Gold Chrysanthemum Tsuba, Brown Sageo
- Blade forged from pattern-welded damascus steel, showing a distinct folded grain across the 40.5-inch length - the visible hamon line runs the full edge, a direct result of the hand-finishing process.
- Full tang construction connects blade to handle through the entire tsuka length, giving the piece structural integrity whether mounted on a wall or drawn for display.
- Gold-tone alloy tsuba features a chrysanthemum relief motif in a rounded quatrefoil silhouette - flanked by matching gold fuchi and kashira fittings that carry the same warm metallic finish throughout.
- Black hardwood saya finished in natural lacquer gives a deep, even gloss; brown sageo cord wraps the kurikata in a traditional style, adding a warm contrast against the all-black koshirae.
- Black tsuka pairs with gold menuki accents and brown ito-style wrapping details visible at the handle center, creating a three-tone color story: black, gold, and brown across the full koshirae set.

Product Details
The blade on this tachi replica is forged from pattern-welded damascus steel, producing a folded, layered grain that catches light differently along every inch of the 40.5-inch nagasa. A visible hamon line traces the edge from kissaki to habaki - hand-finished rather than etched - giving the steel its characteristic contrast between a bright edge and a darker flat. At 1.26 inches wide and 2.91 lbs total, the proportions follow the elongated tachi profile rather than the shorter katana form.;
The tsuka is wrapped in black with brown ito-style detail at the center grip, and gold menuki sit flush beneath the wrap. Fuchi and kashira fittings match in gold-tone alloy, carrying a consistent metallic accent from pommel cap to blade collar. The handle color and fitting tones are drawn directly from the koshirae tradition - every component selected to read as a unified set.
The tsuba is the visual centerpiece of this piece. Cast in gold-tone alloy, it takes a rounded quatrefoil silhouette with chrysanthemum relief carving across its face - a flower motif that has appeared on samurai sword furniture for centuries. Two hitsu-ana openings flank the nakago-ana in the traditional arrangement. The depth of the carving is visible even at a distance, which is rare for alloy fittings at this scale.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in black lacquer, producing a surface with a consistent, deep gloss. Brown sageo cord wraps the kurikata in a traditional style, and the warm brown reads as a deliberate contrast against the black saya and gold koiguchi fitting. The color relationship between sageo, ito detail, and tsuba creates a coherent three-tone palette: black, gold, brown.
Overall length comes in at 40.5 inches with a shipping weight of 4 lbs. The koshirae-style mounting - lacquered saya, alloy fittings, full tang blade - makes this a strong addition to any Japanese Nodachi Sword display or long-sword collection. Sword stand not included.
