1095 Carbon Steel Katana with Blue Blade in Silver Engraved Saya - Full Tang Samurai Sword

The blade is the centerpiece of this katana - forged from 1095 carbon steel and finished in a deep, saturated blue that runs from the habaki to the kissaki. A real hamon traces the edge in an irregular flame pattern, where the polished white edge transitions into the blue body with a jagged, fire-like boundary. The contrast between the bright edge bevel and the blue spine creates a dramatic visual effect that photographs differently in every light.

The tsuka is wrapped in black cord over PU black samegawa, using a traditional diamond-pattern binding that covers the handle from collar to pommel. The wrap is tight and even, with no gaps between the diamond segments. A gold mon menuki is set into the tsuba face on the guard side, providing a small but precise decorative accent against the matte black alloy.

The tsuba itself is cast from alloy in a round form with an ornate scroll design pressed into the surface and pierced hollows cut through the plate. The black finish on the guard reads as matte rather than glossy, which keeps it visually grounded against both the blue blade and the silver saya. The scroll detailing on the tsuba face echoes the engraving carried through on the scabbard.

The saya is the most elaborate component of this koshirae. The silver hardwood lacquer finish serves as the base for dense engraved vine and floral scrollwork that covers the full length of the scabbard - no plain sections. The pattern is continuous and detailed, with curling botanical forms that layer over one another from the koiguchi to the kojiri. The dark blue and cream sageo cord is knotted at the kurikata in a standard wrap and hangs with enough length to tie at the obi or display loosely.

Overall length measures 40.55 in with a blade width of 1.259 in and a blade thickness of 0.275 in. The complete sword weighs 2.8 lb. The full tang extends through the handle and is secured within the tsuka, making this a structurally sound piece suited to display mounting or collection. The silver, black, and blue color combination across saya, tsuka, and blade gives this katana a cohesive and striking visual identity from tip to pommel.
