Tamahagane Steel Katana with Hamon Blade, Blue-White Tsuka & Black Lacquer Saya - Flower Tsuba

At the center of this katana is a Tamahagane steel blade finished to a high-polish chrome surface. The full-tang construction extends through the entire handle, providing consistent balance from tip to pommel. Differential hardening produces a visible hamon line that traces the edge in a natural wave - a defining mark of traditional Japanese blade craft.

The tsuka is built around a core wrapped in genuine white samegawa - authentic ray skin that provides texture and grip beneath the outer wrap. Blue cord is applied over the samegawa using traditional knot paper wrap technique, creating the signature diamond-pattern spacing visible along the handle's length. The result is a blue-white color scheme that carries through to the sageo.

The iron tsuba is hand-carved with a detailed floral relief - raised flower motifs distributed across the circular guard give it depth and a distinctly classical character. A gold-tone seppa sits flush between tsuba and habaki, lending a warm metallic accent that bridges the black guard and chrome blade. For collectors drawn to this aesthetic, our Flower Theme Tsuba Japanese Samurai Swords collection features additional options in this style.

The saya is crafted from hardwood finished with premium black lacquer, producing a deep, consistent gloss across the entire scabbard. Blue-and-white sageo cord is secured at the kurigata, echoing the tsuka's color palette and tying the full koshirae presentation together visually.

Overall length is 40.55 in, blade width 1.259 in, thickness 0.275 in, and total weight 2.8 lb. The package dimensions are 42.9 x 3.9 x 3.5 in at a shipping weight of 3.3 lb. This piece is suited to koshirae collectors and those who appreciate the full coordination of blade, fittings, and scabbard in a single cohesive set.
