Product Details

This full tang katana is built around a 28.74-inch blade forged from 1065 carbon steel, hand-sharpened and hardened to 62 HRC. The steel delivers a clean chrome-polished finish along the entire length of the nagasa, and the blade features a real hamon line created during the heat treatment process. Japanese characters are engraved near the habaki, adding an authentic touch to the overall presentation.

The 10.62-inch tsuka is constructed with a black cotton cord wrap layered over genuine black rayskin in a traditional diamond pattern. The white samegawa peeks through at each crossover point, creating a bold visual contrast. Silver-tone fittings including the fuchi and kashira frame the handle cleanly, and the overall grip feels balanced for display handling.

At the junction of blade and handle sits a round alloy tsuba featuring an intricate openwork bamboo motif. The silver-tone guard is detailed with gold accent highlights that catch light from multiple angles, making it a standout design element. Collectors who appreciate nature-inspired Japanese motifs will find this tsuba among the more refined examples in our Natural 1065 Carbon Steel Katana selection.

The 29.92-inch hardwood saya is finished in a distinctive purple and black speckled lacquer that creates an organic, almost stone-like texture across the entire surface. A black sageo cord is tied at the kurikata with a gold-tone accent ring, and the koiguchi fits the blade snugly for secure storage. This purple-toned presentation pairs well with pieces from our Purple 1045 Carbon Steel Katana collection for themed displays.

Measuring 40.55 inches in overall length and weighing 2.8 lbs, this katana is a full-size collectible piece that balances visual impact with authentic proportions. Every component - from the hand-finished blade to the lacquered saya - is assembled by hand, resulting in a display sword that rewards close inspection. Please note that a sword stand or holder is not included.
