1095 Carbon Steel Katana with Flame-Engraved Blade in Brown Lacquer Saya - Demon Tsuba

The 28.74-inch blade is forged from 1095 carbon steel and heat-treated to 62 HRC, delivering a hard, stable edge with lasting structural integrity. The chrome-finish surface is dressed with hand-applied flame engravings that run from the base of the blade toward the tip - bold, asymmetrical forms that give this piece an unmistakable visual identity among 1095 High Carbon Steel Katana replicas. The blade is sharpened and measures 1.259 inches at its widest point.;

The tsuka runs 10.62 inches and follows traditional koshirae construction. Genuine black rayskin (samegawa) wraps the wooden core, and black tsuka-ito is applied in a standard diamond-gap pattern over the top. The result is a handle that holds its wrap tension while offering good visual contrast against the bright blade.

The alloy tsuba is cast in a gold-brown finish with a raised demon (oni) face at center, surrounded by flame and cloud detailing. The casting depth and surface patina give it an aged, hand-worked appearance that pairs directly with the flame theme carried through the blade engravings. This level of thematic consistency across tsuba and blade is a defining feature of the piece.

The hardwood saya is finished in matte dark brown lacquer with a fine-textured surface, measuring 29.92 inches. A black sageo cord is attached with a traditional knot, and a matching black tassel hangs at the koiguchi. The matte finish reduces glare and gives the saya a natural, understated presence alongside the more ornate fittings.

Overall length is 40.55 inches and weight is 2.8 lb. Full-tang construction runs the blade steel through the handle core, giving the piece solid balance and long-term stability. Packaged at 3.3 lb shipping weight in a 42.9 x 3.9 x 3.5-inch box. A well-matched set for collectors drawn to Black Handmade Katana aesthetics with traditional koshirae fittings.
