Product Details

The 28.74-inch manganese steel blade is the structural and aesthetic centerpiece of this katana. Hardened to 62 HRC, it carries a genuine hamon line that traces the boundary between hardened edge and softer spine - a result of careful differential heat treatment rather than cosmetic etching. The chrome-toned, matte-finished surface shows the blade's geometry cleanly, and the full tang construction runs the entire length of the tsuka for structural integrity.

The tsuka measures 10.62 inches and is wrapped in traditional green silk cord over genuine black rayskin (samegawa). The knot-paper wrap technique locks the cord pattern in place, producing consistent diamond-shaped openings along the grip. Green against black rayskin creates a high-contrast pairing that anchors the handle's visual identity within the koshirae ensemble.

The tsuba is cast alloy in a silver tone, sculpted in an ornate scroll theme with copper-accent inlay elements visible at the center relief. Its circular form and detailed surface texture give it weight and presence between blade and handle, while the mixed metal tones - silver body, copper accent - bridge the green tsuka and the warm gold of the saya artwork. If you appreciate elaborately fitted Japanese swords, browse our Colored Katana collection for additional koshirae styles.

The hardwood saya, 29.92 inches, is the most visually striking component. A matte black lacquer base covers the lower body, transitioning into a warm orange-gold tone toward the koiguchi. Across this two-tone ground, a hand-painted cascade of gold and green botanical motifs - rendered in fine detail with individual leaf forms and branching stems - runs along the entire length. A black sageo cord is knotted at the saya mouth, tying the ensemble together. For related sword aesthetics combining gold and warm tones, see our Red And Yellow Katana Sword collection.

Overall length is 40.55 inches, with a total weight of 2.8 lb. and a shipping weight of 3.3 lb. The koshirae-style full assembly - blade, tsuka, tsuba, and hand-painted saya - is designed as a unified presentation piece where every component speaks to the same visual language of contrast, botanical art, and traditional Japanese sword aesthetics.
