Product Details

The blade is forged from 1060 carbon steel in a full tang construction, running the complete length of the handle for structural integrity. The chrome-finished nagasa measures 40.55 inches overall with a blade width of 1.259 inches, delivering the lean silhouette of a classical katana profile. The surface is precision-finished to a clean, reflective polish without visible hamon - consistent with the non-clay-tempered construction of this piece.

The tsuka is built on a hardwood core and wrapped in PU black samegawa beneath alternating black-and-white ito cord in the traditional hishigumi diamond pattern. The high-contrast stripe effect is immediately visible and gives the handle a bold, graphic quality that stands apart from standard monochrome wraps. Menuki accents seated beneath the wrap add depth to the overall handle construction.

The silver alloy tsuba is the focal point of the koshirae fittings. Cast in a round form, it features a raised dragonfly (tombo) relief surrounded by botanical scroll detailing along the rim. In classical Japanese symbolism, the dragonfly represents agility and determined spirit - a motif historically favored by samurai. For collectors drawn to thematic fittings, this piece sits naturally alongside others in the Dragonfly Theme Tsuba Japanese Samurai Swords collection.

The saya is crafted from hardwood and finished with a black-and-gold crackle lacquer that creates a fractured, aged-stone visual effect. The gold undertones breaking through the dark surface give the scabbard a richness that photographs exceptionally well. A black-and-white sageo cord is fitted at the kurigata, mirroring the tsuka wrap colors and completing the koshirae as a visually unified set.

At 2.8 lb total weight with a shipping profile of 42.9 x 3.9 x 3.5 inches, this katana is suited for wall mounting, shelf display, photography setups, or cosplay. The full koshirae styling - coordinated sageo, alloy fittings, lacquered saya, and patterned tsuka - makes it a self-contained presentation piece with clear visual identity.

  • Full tang 1060 carbon steel blade with a precision-finished chrome edge and clean geometry from tip to tang - built for display integrity and long-term structural stability.
  • Hardwood saya finished in a striking black-and-gold crackle lacquer pattern that resembles aged marble - each surface variation makes the scabbard visually one of a kind.
  • Tsuka wrapped in black-and-white alternating cord over PU black samegawa, delivering strong contrast and a traditional diamond-pattern grip that stays secure in hand.
  • Silver alloy tsuba features a detailed dragonfly motif - in Japanese tradition, the dragonfly (tombo) symbolizes perseverance and the warrior spirit, adding cultural depth to the piece.
  • Matching black-and-white sageo ties the full koshirae together, echoing the tsuka wrap color scheme for a cohesive, intentional visual presentation.
  • Overall length 40.55 in, blade width 1.259 in, total weight 2.8 lb - well-proportioned for wall display, photography, or cosplay use.
