Product Details

The blade is forged from T10 carbon steel and hand-finished to a bright chrome polish. A genuine hamon - the wavy temper line along the edge - runs the full length of the nagasa, producing the rippled, cloud-like pattern visible in the close-up detail shot. At 40.55 inches overall with a blade width of 1.259 inches and a spine thickness of 0.275 inches, the geometry follows classic tachi proportions and sits at a balanced 2.8 lb in hand.

The tsuka is wrapped in genuine white samegawa, a textured ray skin base that provides grip under the ito. Dark navy cord is wound in a traditional hishigami pattern, with gold-toned diamond inserts marking each crossing point, creating a striking blue-and-gold contrast visible from the kashira down to the habaki collar.

The tsuba is the visual centerpiece of this koshirae assembly. Cast in open-work gold-tone metal, the circular guard features layered dragon and cloud motifs rendered in fine relief - a design rooted in classical Japanese sword fittings. The gold finish stands out sharply against the dark navy ito, and the matching gold kashira at the pommel ties the metalwork together.

The hardwood saya is finished in a hand-painted marble pattern - swirling white and grey tones that evoke flowing water and stone. A braided blue-and-cream sageo cord is knotted at the koiguchi, reinforcing the navy-and-white color story that runs through the entire piece. As part of our Purple And Red Katana Sword adjacent lineup, this model takes a cooler, more formal palette suited to traditional display settings.

At 2.8 lb and 40.55 inches, this katana is proportioned for wall mounting or horizontal stand display. The full koshirae - blade, tsuka, tsuba, and saya assembled - presents as a cohesive collector replica with coordinated color and metalwork across every component. Sword stand not included.
