Product Details

The blade of this katana is forged from 1060 carbon steel and finished in a deep blue tone that runs from the habaki to the kissaki, catching light differently at every angle. A real hamon line traces the edge, formed during the heat-treatment process and visible as a distinct contrast band between the blue-tinted spine and the brighter edge. The full-tang construction keeps the steel continuous through the handle, contributing to the sword's solid 2.8 lb balance. Explore more options in our Blue 1060 Carbon Steel Katana collection.

The tsuka is wrapped in black cord over a PU blue samegawa base, producing a two-tone black-and-blue pattern where diamond-shaped glimpses of the blue underlayer show through the wrap intervals. The combination mirrors the blade's color without being repetitive, and the wrap texture provides a stable, non-slip hold along the full length of the handle.

The tsuba is a circular black alloy piece with a geometric open-work design - symmetric cutouts arranged around the center create a lattice-like silhouette. Seated at the habaki, the black guard sits in clear visual contrast to both the blue blade and the gold-toned habaki beneath it, framing the transition from handle to blade cleanly.

The saya is built from hardwood and finished in a silver lacquer surface embossed with an all-over vine and floral scroll pattern. The relief texture covers the scabbard from mouth to tip, giving the silver ground a layered, dimensional quality. A black sageo cord is tied at the kurikata, offering a sharp color break against the silver saya that ties back to the black elements throughout the koshirae.

Overall length is 40.55 inches with a blade width of 1.259 inches and spine thickness of 0.275 inches, shipping weight 3.3 lb. The complete koshirae - blue blade, black-and-blue tsuka, geometric black tsuba, and silver vine saya - presents a cohesive visual set suited to display or collection.
