Product Details

The blade on this katana is folded melaleuca steel, hand-finished to a chrome polish that lets the steel's layered grain catch the light. A real hamon runs the length of the edge - the wavy temper line is a direct result of the differential hardening process applied during production, not an etched or cosmetic imitation. At 40.55 inches overall with a blade width of 1.259 inches, the geometry follows standard katana proportions and the full tang runs the complete length of the tsuka for structural integrity. Total weight is 2.8 lb. Explore the wider range in our Authentic Folded Steel Katana collection for additional folded-blade options.

The tsuka is wrapped in genuine white samegawa ray skin, which provides the textured base layer traditional to Japanese sword construction. Over that, black cotton cord is applied in the classic diamond-pattern ito wrap, securing the ray skin and producing the alternating exposed-samegawa diamonds visible along the handle. The result is a black-and-white grip that is both visually clean and practically stable. A black kashira cap and matching black sageo cord complete the handle assembly.

The tsuba is cast in an ornate scroll style with a black body and gold-edged relief detailing - the two-tone black-gold finish is confirmed by the image, showing raised decorative elements along the outer face. The guard profile is slightly irregular in outline rather than a plain circle or square, adding visual depth at the transition point between blade and handle.

The saya is crafted from hardwood and finished in premium natural lacquer. The dark blue base carries a marble-style swirl pattern with gold dragon motifs worked into the surface - visible in the product image as flowing gold linework against the deep blue ground. Because the finish is hand-applied, the exact distribution of color and pattern varies slightly per piece. The black sageo cord is tied at the kurigata in a traditional knot. The scabbard fits the blade securely and is sized to the full 40.55-inch assembly.

This katana is a koshirae-style replica piece weighing 2.8 lb and shipping at 3.3 lb in packaging sized at 42.9 x 3.9 x 3.5 inches. It is suited for display, collection, or cosplay use. Sword stand not included.

  • Folded melaleuca steel blade with a real hamon along the edge, produced through a hand-finished tempering process that reveals a distinctive wavy temper line and visible grain pattern across the polished chrome surface.
  • Full tang construction with genuine white samegawa ray skin under black cord wrapping - the traditional diamond-pattern ito delivers a firm, balanced grip and a clean black-and-white contrast along the tsuka.
  • Dark blue hardwood saya finished in premium natural lacquer with a marble-style multi-color swirl pattern and gold dragon motifs - each scabbard carries a slightly unique color distribution due to the hand-applied finish.
  • Black-and-gold tsuba cast in an ornate scroll style with raised decorative relief - the two-tone finish pairs the dark body with gold-edged detailing, providing both a visual focal point and a traditional hand stop.
  • Overall length 40.55 in, blade width 1.259 in, weight 2.8 lb - proportions consistent with a traditional katana koshirae, balanced for wall display or tabletop presentation with a black sageo cord included.
