Product Details

The blade on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel and features a genuine hamon - the contrast line produced during heat treatment that runs the length of the edge. Hand-finished to a refined edge, the blade measures 40.55 inches in overall length and weighs 2.8 lb. A dragon engraving along the flat of the blade adds a layered visual detail without disrupting the clean geometry of the profile. If you appreciate swords with distinctive blade artistry, our Flower Theme Blade Japanese Samurai Swords collection offers similar hand-detailed options.

The full-tang construction extends through the entire tsuka, keeping the blade and handle unified as a single structural piece. The handle itself is wrapped in purple cotton cord in a traditional diamond pattern over genuine white samegawa - the textured ray skin provides the grip foundation beneath the wrap. Silver-toned menuki are visible through the cord openings, adding detail consistent with koshirae-style fittings.

The tsuba is a standout component: a bronze circular guard with an open ironwork frame, featuring a chrysanthemum theme rendered with gold and copper-toned raised elements. The layered floral motifs catch light from multiple angles, and the overall finish reads as a genuine piece of decorative metalwork rather than a stamped fitting. Collectors interested in this level of tsuba detail can explore the Gold-plated Tsuba Japanese Samurai Swords collection for related pieces.

The saya is crafted from hardwood with a mottled pink lacquer finish - the uneven, blush-toned surface gives it an aged, organic quality distinct from solid-color scabbards. A purple sageo cord is tied at the koiguchi in a structured knot, securing the saya and visually tying the pink and purple color palette together across the full piece.

At 40.55 inches overall with a 1.259-inch width and 0.275-inch spine thickness, this katana sits in standard full-size katana proportions. The 2.8 lb weight reflects the T10 steel construction. This is a koshirae-style replica with dragon blade engraving, chrysanthemum tsuba, pink hardwood saya, and purple cord handle - a cohesive set built around a specific visual and material identity.
