Product Details
The blade of this katana is forged from 1095 carbon steel and finished in a deep blue tone that shifts subtly along the length of the steel. A real hamon runs along the edge, the result of a precision-finished heat treatment process that gives the blade its characteristic visual line and refined edge profile. At 40.55 inches overall with a blade width of 1.259 inches, the full-tang construction ensures the steel extends completely through the handle, contributing to the sword's 2.8 lb balance.
The tsuka is wrapped in dark blue ito over white PU samegawa, the diamond-pattern weave pulled tight across the full length of the handle. The contrast between the deep navy cord and the pale ray-skin ground beneath creates a clean, graphic look that pairs directly with the blade's cool blue finish. Gold-toned fittings at the kashira and habaki complete the handle assembly.
The gold-toned iron tsuba is one of the most detailed elements of this piece. Carved in relief, it depicts a tiger moving through dense foliage - branches and leaves encircling the oval opening in layered, three-dimensional texture. The warm gold tone of the metalwork reads clearly against the blue blade on one side and the white saya on the other, anchoring the tiger theme that runs across the entire koshirae.
The saya is lacquered hardwood finished in white, with hand-painted white tiger figures distributed across its surface - multiple poses rendered in fine brushwork with red accent detailing on the open mouths. A dark blue and purple sageo cord is knotted at the koiguchi, its braided texture and tassel ends adding movement and a secondary color note to the otherwise stark white scabbard. If you appreciate the artistry of Blue Wave Theme Blade Katana designs, this tiger-themed koshirae offers a similarly bold visual narrative.
With a shipping weight of 3.3 lb and package dimensions of 42.9 x 3.9 x 3.5 inches, this katana is presented ready for display. The combination of blue blade, white lacquered tiger saya, and gold tiger tsuba makes it a cohesive collector's piece for anyone drawn to Japanese sword aesthetics. Collectors interested in the full range of Blue Blade 1095 Carbon Steel Katana options will find this tiger koshirae set a distinctive addition to any display.
