Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from full tang 1095 carbon steel and finished in a deep matte black, running 40.55 inches overall with a width of 1.259 inches and a spine thickness of 0.275 inches. The dark finish gives the nagasa a distinctive, uniform tone that diverges from the mirror-polished look of conventional katana - a deliberate aesthetic choice that anchors the entire koshirae in a monochromatic palette. If you're exploring the range of Black 1095 Carbon Steel Katana options, this piece represents the style at its most visually focused.
The tsuka is built on a full tang core wrapped in black PU samegawa, then bound with white cotton cord in a traditional diamond-pattern hishigami layout. The black-and-white contrast is sharp and intentional - the white cord diamonds stand out cleanly against the dark rayskin, giving the handle a graphic quality that reinforces the overall two-tone design language of the koshirae.
The tsuba is the visual centerpiece of this build. Cast in alloy with a black-gold finish, it features an ornate scroll theme with densely embossed floral and cloud-scroll relief across both faces. A gold-rimmed diamond inlay at the center adds a secondary accent color that breaks the monochrome without disrupting it. The fuchi and kashira are finished in the same silver-toned alloy with scrollwork detailing, maintaining consistency along the full length of the handle assembly.
The saya is shaped from hardwood and coated in a natural lacquer finish in glossy black. The sageo is white cord, which mirrors the tsuka wrapping and creates a deliberate visual loop between handle and scabbard. The koiguchi and kojiri fittings are finished in matching silver-toned alloy with engraved detail work that complements the tsuba's scroll motif.
At 2.8 lb with a 40.55-inch overall length, this katana is scaled for full koshirae display. The complete package - black blade, white cord wrapping, ornate scroll tsuba, and lacquered hardwood saya - makes it a well-composed piece for collectors focused on visual coherence and traditional Japanese sword aesthetics.
