Product Details
The blade is forged from folded melaleuca steel, a layering process that produces the characteristic rippled grain pattern visible along the flat. A distinct hamon line traces the edge, evidence of differential heat treatment that creates the bright, misty boundary between edge and spine. The chrome-finished surface is polished to bring out the natural steel texture, and the full-tang construction runs the entire length of the handle core.
The tsuka is built over real white samegawa ray skin, whose raised nodules provide grip friction beneath the wrapping. Black-and-white ito is wound in a classic diamond pattern - the white underlayer showing through each opening against the dark cord, creating sharp geometric contrast. A gold-tone menuki sits recessed beneath the wrap, adding a subtle traditional accent without interrupting the hand position.
The tsuba is one of the most striking elements of this piece. Cast in a gold-tone finish, it features an irregular crater-and-bubble surface texture - dense pitting across the face with raised edges around each void. The organic, almost geological look makes it a clear focal point at the blade-handle junction. A gold-finished oval seppa sits flush between tsuba and tsuka.
The saya is lacquered hardwood in a deep gloss black, with hand-painted botanical artwork running across the lower panel - white lily blossoms, green foliage, and gold-brown stems arranged in a flowing vine composition. Small colored bird silhouettes appear near the koiguchi in red and blue, adding fine detail to the design. The saya mouth is wrapped in a deep red textured material, and a braided black sageo is knotted at the kurikata. This piece is part of our Folded Katana Sword collection for collectors seeking layered-steel construction with artistic saya work.
Overall length is 40.55 inches with a blade width of 1.259 inches and spine thickness of 0.275 inches. Total weight is 2.8 lb, balanced for display on a wall mount or stand. For more options in this forging style, browse our full Folded Samurai Sword selection. Sword stand is not included.
