- Handle wraps black cotton ito in a traditional diamond pattern over white PU samegawa, creating a sharp black-and-white contrast that gives the tsuka both grip texture and visual definition.
- The saya is built from hardwood finished in high-gloss piano lacquer, delivering a deep jet-black mirror surface, with a matching black sageo cord tied in traditional koshirae style at the kurigata.

Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from 1060 carbon steel and runs full tang through the entire handle construction, providing a solid foundation from tip to pommel. The nagasa receives a black surface treatment that eliminates the typical silver finish in favor of a dark, dramatic profile - the refined edge remains visible along the curve, catching light against the otherwise uniform black. For collectors exploring our range of 1060 Carbon Steel Sword options, this piece sits at the intersection of functional construction and striking aesthetics.
The tsuka is wrapped in traditional diamond-pattern ito using black cotton cord over a white PU samegawa base. The alternating white diamonds beneath the black wrap create a high-contrast visual rhythm across the full handle length, a classic koshirae detail that references authentic samurai construction without compromise.
The iron dragon tsuba is the visual centerpiece of the fittings - a circular guard with carved dragon relief work in matte black, the design cut with enough depth to read clearly against the dark overall scheme. Gold-accented stitching at the habaki introduces a subtle warm note between the tsuba and the blade, grounding the all-black palette with a traditional metallic detail.
The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in piano lacquer, resulting in a high-gloss jet-black surface that mirrors its surroundings cleanly. A black sageo cord is attached at the kurigata and tied in a traditional looped knot, completing the koshirae presentation. If you are building a collection around this style, the Traditional Katana range offers additional pieces with comparable construction philosophy.
At 40.5 inches overall with a 1.26-inch blade width and a weight of 2.88 lbs, this katana carries well in hand and presents cleanly on display. Each piece is individually handcrafted, so minor variations in fit and finish are part of the process. Sword stand not included.
