1095 Carbon Steel Tachi Sword - Full Tang High-Polish Blade with Chrysanthemum Gold-Black Alloy Tsuba

The blade of this tachi is forged from manganese-enhanced 1095 carbon steel, heat-treated to 62 HRC for a hardness that holds a refined, hand-finished edge. At 28.74 inches, the nagasa carries a chrome-bright mirror polish from base to tip - no hamon line, just a clean, luminous finish that shifts dramatically under light. The full-tang construction runs uninterrupted through the entire handle, providing the structural backbone that serious collectors expect.

The tsuka measures 10.62 inches and begins with an authentic real rayskin (samegawa) wrap in black - a material chosen for its natural texture and grip character. Over this, black cord is hand-wrapped in a traditional diamond pattern, creating the white-diamond windows visible across the handle surface. Black fuchi and kashira fittings cap both ends with relief-carved detailing that mirrors the scabbard's metalwork.

The tsuba is cast from alloy in a rounded lobed silhouette and finished in a two-tone gold-black palette. A chrysanthemum motif is worked into the surface in relief, the petals radiating from a textured central medallion. The gold tone grounds the black cord handle visually, while small gold-accent menuki and coordinating fittings along the sageo assembly extend the color story across the full koshirae.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and sealed under a matte natural lacquer finish in deep dark red - burgundy in lower light, warming toward oxblood in direct light. At 29.92 inches it sheathes the nagasa cleanly. A braided black sageo is looped and knotted in traditional fashion, with gold-tone brass-style ornamental pieces positioned along the scabbard wrap - visible in the image as lion and disc-shaped fittings that add dimension to the suspension assembly.

Overall length is 40.55 inches at a balanced 2.8 lb. Presented in koshirae style with all fittings assembled, this tachi brings together a chrome-polished 62 HRC steel blade, genuine rayskin handle wrap, chrysanthemum-motif alloy tsuba, and a dark red lacquer hardwood saya into a cohesive collector's piece built around traditional Japanese sword aesthetics.
