Product Details

The blade is the centerpiece of this tachi replica - a full tang manganese steel construction finished with flowing Damascus-style surface patterns that ripple across the 28.74-inch nagasa. Heat-treated to 62 HRC, the blade carries a defined hamon line along its length and a hand-finished edge, giving it the visual depth collectors look for in a Damascus Steel Tachi Sword.

The tsuka is wrapped in black ito cord over a genuine black rayskin (samegawa) foundation, stretching 10.62 inches and fitted with silver-tone menuki accents seated within the wrap. The monochrome handle construction is clean and purposeful, anchored at the blade end by a silver-gold two-tone alloy habaki.

The tsuba commands attention with its ornate scroll-relief design cast in silver and gold alloy - an elaborate guard that bridges the handle and blade with decorative carving on all four faces. Paired with matching silver fuchi and kashira fittings, the koshirae ensemble reads as a cohesive set rather than mismatched components. Explore similar fittings across our Alloy Tsuba Tachi Swords collection.

The saya is shaped from natural hardwood rosewood, left in a matte finish that lets the wood's warm grain character show through. At 29.92 inches it houses the full nagasa with a close fit. A braided green sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata in a traditional pattern, its deep green tone contrasting sharply against the rosewood's warm natural brown - a pairing that defines the sword's overall color identity.

Overall length runs 40.55 inches at 2.8 lb, well-balanced for long-form tachi proportions. Whether mounted on a display stand or stored in its presentation box, this piece brings together Damascus patterning, rayskin handle work, carved alloy fittings, and natural wood in a single cohesive collector's tachi.
