Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel and clay tempered, a process that produces measurably different hardness zones between the edge and spine. The result is a visible hamon - the wavy temper line running the length of the chrome-polished surface - that serves as a direct record of the heat treatment rather than a cosmetic addition. At 40.55 inches overall with a 1.259-inch blade width and 2.8 lb total weight, the geometry sits squarely in classic katana proportions. Collectors interested in steel quality can browse the full Japanese Steel Sword range for additional T10 and high-carbon options.
The tsuka construction follows traditional koshirae practice. Blue samegawa ray skin is laid over the wooden core first, providing a raised, textured foundation, then black ito cord is wrapped in the standard diamond pattern over it. The blue samegawa remains visible through each opening in the wrap, creating a deliberate two-tone effect that ties directly to the blue sageo cord knotted at the saya mouth.
The tsuba is one of the most detailed elements of this piece. Cast from copper and finished with gold gilding, it carries a chrysanthemum theme rendered in relief across its face - a motif historically associated with formal Japanese aesthetic traditions. The warm gold tone reads clearly against the dark handle and bright blade, and the detail work visible in the petal clusters and background texturing indicates genuine hand-finishing rather than stamped production.
The saya is where this katana makes its most immediate visual statement. Formed from hardwood and sealed with black lacquer, each scabbard is individually hand-painted with a branching floral composition - pink and cream blossoms with green foliage set against the deep gloss black ground. Because the painting is done by hand, the exact arrangement of flowers varies between pieces, making each saya a one-of-a-kind painted surface. Those drawn to the Gold Printed Tsuba Japanese Samurai Swords collection will find this piece's gilded tsuba and painted saya combination fits naturally within that aesthetic.
Packaged at 42.9 x 3.9 x 3.5 inches and shipping at 3.3 lb, this katana arrives ready for display or handling. The full koshirae fittings - gold tsuba, blue sageo, black ito, painted saya - work as a coordinated set rather than a collection of mismatched parts, giving the piece a cohesive finished character that holds up under close inspection.
