Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from 1095 high-carbon steel and features a clearly defined hamon temper line running the length of the edge - a product of the differential hardening process applied during manufacture. A dragon engraving decorates the blade's surface, adding visual depth to the polished chrome finish. At 41 inches overall, the geometry is true to classical Japanese sword proportions, with a natural curvature that draws the eye from tip to habaki. For collectors interested in the full range of Granite 1095 Carbon Steel Katana offerings, this piece reflects the same steel standard applied across that line.
The tsuka is built in traditional koshirae style, with real white samegawa providing the base layer beneath a tightly wrapped black cotton ito. The diamond-pattern wrap sits flush and even, with no loose sections - the result of careful hand-assembly. Gold-tone fuchi and kashira fittings frame the handle at both ends, maintaining finish consistency with the habaki at the blade collar.
The tsuba is one of the most visually distinctive elements of this build. Cast in a black-gold finish, it carries an ornate peony relief pattern - floral scrollwork extends across the full face of the guard, with gold gilding accents highlighting the raised detail against the dark base. The overall diameter suits the proportions of the handle without feeling oversized.
The saya is lacquered hardwood in a deep dark red - the finish carries a fine metallic grain that shifts subtly in different lighting. A length of black sageo cord is tied in a traditional knot at the koiguchi opening, incorporating a smooth jet-black cabochon as a decorative element. The fit between saya and blade is snug and consistent. Collectors exploring Blood Red Katana styles will find this saya finish among the deeper, richer examples in that color family.
Overall dimensions: 41 inches in length, 1.259 inches in width, 0.275 inches in height, with a weight of 4 pounds. Packaged in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box at a shipping weight of 5 pounds. The sword stand is not included. This is a full-tang replica katana intended for display and collection purposes.
