Tamahagane Steel Katana with Black Lacquer Saya, Beige Tsuka & Brown-Blue Sageo

The blade on this tamahagane steel katana is hand-finished to a high-polish chrome tone, with a visible hamon line tracing the edge from kissaki to habaki. Tamahagane - the traditional iron sand-derived steel at the core of Japanese swordsmithing heritage - gives this full-tang blade its characteristic layered grain and tonal depth.

The tsuka is wrapped in real white samegawa ray skin as the base layer, then bound tightly in beige cord using the knot paper wrap technique. Diamond-shaped menuki points show through the wrap at regular intervals, and the warm neutral tone of the handle provides a clean contrast against the darker fittings at the habaki.

A gray squared tsuba with a plain, unadorned profile sits at the transition between blade and handle. Its understated design keeps the focus on the overall silhouette rather than ornamental detail. The fuchi and kashira fittings carry the same subdued gray tone, maintaining visual consistency throughout the koshirae.

The saya is crafted from hardwood finished in a deep black lacquer coat, producing a smooth, gloss surface that complements the polished nagasa. A brown-blue braided sageo is looped and knotted at the kurikata - the two-tone cord visible in layered coils adds a deliberate pop of warm and cool contrast against the black ground, as seen clearly in the image.

At 40.55 inches overall, 1.259 inches wide, and 2.8 lb, this katana replica sits within traditional proportions for a full-size koshirae piece. Whether displayed horizontally or mounted vertically, it reads as a cohesive, considered Decorative Samurai Sword with period-accurate construction details throughout.
