Product Details
The 28.74-inch blade is forged from 1065 carbon steel and heat-treated to 62 HRC, producing a dense, stable edge geometry with a polished chrome finish. No hamon is present - the steel's uniform surface reflects light cleanly along its length. At 1.259 inches wide and 0.275 inches at the spine, the geometry is consistent with traditional katana proportions, and the full tang runs the entire length of the handle for structural integrity.
The 10.62-inch tsuka is wrapped in orange cotton ito in a classic diamond pattern over a foundation of real black rayskin. The rayskin's natural nodule texture locks the ito in place and adds grip without bulk. Red diamond-shaped menuki accents are visible through the wrap gaps, adding contrast against the orange cord. The combination is both visually striking and true to traditional koshirae construction.
The tsuba is cast from alloy in a detailed skull motif with gold finish - raised sculpted forms cover the plate with layered relief work that catches light from multiple angles. Gold habaki and fuchi collars frame the blade entry and handle junction cleanly. This guard anchors the entire aesthetic of the piece and is the focal point of the Gold Samurai Sword category it belongs to.
The hardwood saya is 29.92 inches long, finished with matte natural lacquer, and printed with a dramatic fire-and-skull graphic spanning its full surface - orange and red flame forms surround multiple skull figures set against a cream-yellow ground. An orange sageo cord is knotted at the kurikata, tying the saya's color back to the handle wrap for a unified presentation. The matte lacquer surface reduces glare and gives the artwork visual depth.
Overall length is 40.55 inches and weight is 2.8 lb, packaged in a 42.5 x 3.9 x 3.5 inch box with a shipping weight of 3.3 lb. Built in full koshirae style, this piece fits naturally alongside other Natural 1065 Carbon Steel Katana offerings for collectors focused on carbon steel construction with high-impact visual design.
