Product Details

The blade on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel and carries a genuine hamon - the wavy temper line that runs the length of the edge, visible against the polished chrome finish. At 40.5 inches overall and 1.26 inches wide, the geometry is proportioned for the traditional katana silhouette, and the full-tang construction means the steel runs uninterrupted through the handle. Each blade is individually handcrafted by experienced swordsmiths, so minor variations in hamon pattern are a natural result of the process.

The tsuka is wrapped in black cord over real red samegawa (ray skin), with copper fittings and a red menuki accent visible between the wrap layers. The grip is firm and traditionally proportioned, finished to the standards of classical Japanese koshirae construction. At 2.88 lb total, the sword has genuine presence in hand.

The tsuba is a standout component - a flower-themed copper guard finished in brown with gold and silver gilding across the floral relief. The detailed casting references traditional Japanese decorative metalwork, and the warm metal tones contrast cleanly against the chrome blade and dark handle. Collectors interested in Gold Printed Tsuba Japanese Samurai Swords will find the gilding work here particularly well-executed.

The saya is hardwood lacquered in a red-speckled-on-black pattern - the texture catches light differently across its length and gives the scabbard a visually dynamic surface. Real horn is used for both the koiguchi (mouth) and kojiri (end cap), maintaining material authenticity at the contact points. A black sageo cord is tied at the kurikata in a traditional knot. This piece sits naturally alongside other Red Japanese Katana in terms of color palette, but the lacquer texture and horn fittings distinguish it from simpler painted finishes.

Total weight is 2.88 lb with shipping weight of 4 lb. Package dimensions are 42 x 4 x 4 inches. Note: sword stand or holder is not included.

Frequently Asked Questions

What steel is used and does it have a real hamon?
The blade is forged from T10 carbon steel and features a genuine hamon - a visible temper line produced by differential heat treatment, not an etched or painted effect. The finished blade has a chrome-polished surface that makes the hamon clearly visible along the edge.
What is the saya made of and what gives it the speckled look?
The saya is hardwood finished in a premium natural lacquer with a red-speckle-on-black pattern. Real horn is used for the koiguchi and kojiri - the mouth piece and end cap - rather than plastic fittings. The black sageo cord is tied at the kurikata in a traditional knot.
What theme is the tsuba and what metals are used in it?
The tsuba follows a flower motif cast in copper with a brown base tone, accented with gold and silver gilding across the floral relief details. The warm metal finish pairs with the red samegawa and red-speckled saya to create a consistent dark-red and gold color scheme across the full koshirae.
