1095 Carbon Steel Full Tang Katana with Blue Speckled Saya and Samurai Tsuba - Collectible Japanese Sword

This 1095 carbon steel katana features a 28.74-inch nagasa forged to 62 HRC hardness. The full tang construction runs the entire length of the handle, secured with dual mekugi pins. The steel delivers a clean chrome-toned finish with visible grain lines along the shinogi-ji, and the kissaki comes to a refined point with a crisp yokote transition. For those exploring this steel type further, our 1095 High Carbon Steel Katana collection showcases a range of options.

The 10.62-inch tsuka is wrapped in black cotton ito over real white rayskin samegawa. The traditional diamond-pattern wrap creates a firm, tactile grip surface while allowing the white rayskin to show through in a classic alternating pattern. A black kashira cap finishes the pommel cleanly.

At the junction of handle and blade sits an alloy round tsuba with a detailed samurai figure cast in dark relief. The design depicts a warrior in traditional armor, framed by a gold-tone habaki collar that provides both a visual accent and a snug blade-to-guard fit. The contrast between dark tsuba and gold habaki adds dimension to the overall profile.

The hardwood saya measures 29.92 inches and features a striking blue speckled lacquer finish that resembles scattered stone or mineral patterns across a dark base. Black sageo cord wraps the saya at a gold-rimmed kurikata, and the koiguchi mouth is reinforced with black cord binding. This distinctive scabbard pairs well with the overall dark-and-blue color scheme. Browse more swords with this finish style in our Blue 1095 Carbon Steel Katana collection.
