Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from 1095 carbon steel with a manganese composition, heat-treated to 62 HRC for solid edge retention. At 28.74 inches, the nagasa carries a deep blue finish applied across the full length, shifting in tone as light catches the hand-hammered surface. The scalloped hi (blood groove) running along the spine side adds visual rhythm and reduces overall blade weight. Collectors drawn to Blue 1095 Carbon Steel Katana designs will find the color treatment here particularly well-executed.
The tsuka measures 10.62 inches and is built over genuine white rayskin - real samegawa, not synthetic. Dark blue ito wraps over it in a traditional diamond pattern, with the white nodes of the underlying rayskin visible through each gap. The contrast between the navy wrap and bright white samegawa is clean and precise, giving the handle a structured, high-contrast look.
The tsuba is cast alloy in a white-and-gold two-tone finish, shaped in a classic circular form with a dragon motif worked into the surface in raised relief detail. Gold accent framing around the seppa area ties the guard into the overall metalwork, and the white outer ring keeps the piece visually distinct from the dark handle and blade.
The saya is hardwood with a matte black lacquer base coat, but what makes it stand out is the multi-colored metallic particle finish applied over it - fine flecks of teal, gold, copper, and burnt orange scatter across the black surface like a dark galaxy pattern. The effect is subtle in low light and vivid under direct light. A dark blue sageo cord wraps the scabbard in a decorative knot near the koiguchi, echoing the ito color and pulling the whole set into a unified aesthetic. Those who appreciate coordinated dark-toned setups may also find the Dark Blue Sageo Katana collection worth exploring.
Total length is 40.55 inches. Overall weight is 2.8 lbs (item weight 4.4 lbs with packaging). The koshirae-style fitments are complete - tsuba, seppa, habaki, and sageo are all included. This piece works as a focused display piece for collectors interested in blue-blade katana with coordinated navy hardware and distinctive saya finishes.
