Product Details

The blade on this katana is forged from high manganese steel and hand-finished to a bright chrome polish. A flowing hamon line traces the length of the edge, catching light at every angle and giving the steel its signature visual depth. The full-tang construction runs uninterrupted from tip to pommel, providing the structural integrity that serious collectors expect from a display-grade piece.

The tsuka is built over a hardwood core and wrapped with orange cord in the traditional cross-diamond pattern, with black diamond-shaped menuki accents visible between the wraps. Beneath the cord, PU black samegawa provides a textured underlayer that keeps the binding firm and adds contrast against the warm orange ito. The result is a handle that reads as both precise and vivid.

The tsuba is the visual centerpiece of this koshirae. Cast in gold-tone alloy with a black enamel background, it features a full chrysanthemum floral cutout - sixteen rounded petals radiating from a central opening. The gold-on-black contrast gives the guard an almost lacquered quality, and a small lion-head menuki detail sits at the base. This piece is part of the Orange Manganese Steel Katana line, which pairs this tsuba motif with the warm orange koshirae throughout.

The saya is carved from natural hardwood and shows a genuine wood-grain stripe pattern in amber and brown tones before its orange surface coat. An orange sageo is tied at the koiguchi in a multi-wrap knot, adding both function and an additional layer of color continuity. The lacquer finish is smooth and glossy, protecting the wood while amplifying the grain beneath it.

At 40.55 inches overall, 1.259 inches at the blade's widest point, and 2.8 lb, this katana presents well on a horizontal wall mount or a traditional stand. Every component - blade, tsuka, tsuba, and saya - is coordinated around the orange-chrome-gold palette. For collectors building out a curated set, explore the full Hand Forged Samurai Sword collection for compatible display pieces.

Overall I am happy and would order from TrueKatana again. I think they are a great value for they price they ask. A great gift idea for any man with a decent amount of testosterone.r
r
Could anything be improved..?r
r
I got a cut and paste answer to a question I asked, that wasn't really a real answer.r
r
Also when I purchased I got an email thanking me for the order and saying I would receive another email that would tell me it had shipped and approx arrival time. That email never came. But I got my very bad-ass sword pretty quick anyway, about the time I was starting to wonder.r
r
I would recommend this company, and will likely buy again.r

Amazing customer service would answer my numerous emails even before I ordered the Katana almost instantly. Shipping was even better probably the fastest shipping for any international order I have ever placed. Ordered on Sunday got the package that following Friday. The quality of the sword is beyond amazing.....
