1060 Carbon Steel Stick Sword in Marble White Lacquer Saya with Rose Gold Collar

The blade is forged from 1060 carbon steel and runs full tang from tip to end cap, giving the piece solid balance and a chrome-polished surface that catches light cleanly along its flat. The hand-finished edge follows a straight shinogi line consistent with the shirasaya form - no hamon, no embellishment, just clean geometry from base to kissaki.

The tsuka is built from hardwood and finished in a natural lacquer coat that produces a white marble ground with drifting grey smoke veining. The pattern is irregular and organic, meaning no two pieces read exactly the same. The same lacquer treatment continues uninterrupted into the saya, so the assembled sword presents as a single continuous column of marble-patterned white wood.

Separating blade from saya is a rose gold habaki collar with an embossed hammered-scale surface. It is the only metal accent on the piece - compact and precise, it provides a deliberate contrast against the white lacquer without pulling attention away from the overall line.

The shirasaya format means the sword assembles and disassembles cleanly - saya slides free to reveal the full polished blade, and the fit is snug enough to hold without a locking mechanism. At 40.5 inches overall and 2.54 lbs, the proportions sit comfortably in hand or across a horizontal display mount.

This piece draws on the Zatoichi cane sword tradition - the idea of a refined blade hidden inside an unassuming wooden form. The marble white finish updates that concept with a contemporary visual identity, making it a strong standalone display piece for collectors interested in shirasaya-style swords with distinct surface character.
