Product Details

The blade of this katana is forged from 1095 carbon steel and finished in a deep, vivid blue that runs the full length of the nagasa. Wave engravings line the blade's edge, catching light at every angle and giving the steel a dynamic, almost fluid quality. At 40.55 inches overall with a blade width of 1.259 inches, the proportions are true to classical katana form. Explore our full range in the Blue Blade 1095 Carbon Steel Katana collection for more options in this finish.

The tsuka is constructed with a full tang core, ensuring the blade and handle form a single continuous unit. The handle wrap uses black cord over a PU black samegawa base, with the diamond pattern tightly and evenly executed. Menuki accents are seated at the standard positions, and the kashira cap carries a bronze-toned finish that ties into the overall metalwork.

The tsuba is cast in bronze and shaped around a dragon theme - open-work cutouts frame a central oval plate engraved with fine parallel lines, while the outer ring features relief dragon motifs in an antique bronze finish. The fuchi collar below echoes the same bronze tone, creating a cohesive transition from blade to handle.

The saya is built from hardwood and finished in a smooth, deep black lacquer with no visible grain interruption. The black sageo is braided and knotted in a traditional pattern near the kurikata, with a small bronze-toned bead accent at the knot. A decorative tassel is attached, completing the koshirae ensemble.

Total weight is 2.8 lb and shipping weight is 3.3 lb. Package dimensions are 42.9 x 3.9 x 3.5 inches. This piece is intended as a collectible and display item, combining 1095 carbon steel construction with a visually distinctive blue blade finish and full bronze dragon hardware set.
