- Black lacquered hardwood saya features a hand-painted multicolor dragon scene - gold-brown dragon body, red accents, and white clouds against a deep black ground - a standout display centerpiece.
- Silver alloy tsuba cast in a full-relief coiled dragon design, flanked by a brass habaki collar and black-white ito wrap over PU white samegawa for a high-contrast traditional koshirae aesthetic.

Product Details
The blade on this katana is ground from 1090 carbon steel, a high-carbon alloy favored for its hardness and edge retention. Full-tang construction means the steel core runs uninterrupted from tip through the entire tsuka, giving the piece solid structural integrity at 40.55 inches overall and 2.8 pounds. A visible hamon line traces the edge of the blade, and a hand-engraved dragon scene runs along the flat - fine line work depicting a coiling dragon against the polished steel. Collectors interested in the broader 1090 Katana category will recognize this steel specification as a reliable mid-grade carbon choice.
The tsuka is assembled in classic koshirae style. PU white samegawa forms the base layer, providing the traditional textured grip foundation, while black cord ito is wrapped over it in a diamond pattern - creating a sharp black-and-white contrast that photographs cleanly and feels intentional in hand. A black-and-white braided sageo is knotted at the kurigata, maintaining the two-tone color discipline across every fitting.
The tsuba is the visual anchor of the fittings. Cast from silver-tone alloy, it presents a fully sculpted coiling dragon in high relief across the entire guard surface - scales, claws, and spine clearly defined. A brass habaki collar sits snug between the tsuba and blade base, adding a warm gold note against the otherwise silver-and-black palette.
The saya is crafted from lacquered hardwood finished in deep matte black. What distinguishes it is the hand-painted dragon composition applied to the scabbard face: a gold-brown dragon body winds down the length of the saya, detailed with red flame accents and white cloud forms against the black ground. The sageo cord ties off at the kurigata, completing the scabbard's presentation. Those exploring the wider range of Real Carbon Steel Sword options will find this saya finish among the more decoratively detailed in the category.
Overall dimensions: 40.55 inches length, 1.259 inches width, 0.275 inches height, weighing 2.8 pounds. Packaged at 42.9 x 3.9 x 3.5 inches with a shipping weight of 3.3 pounds. Note: sword stand or holder is not included.
