Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from 1090 carbon steel and runs full tang through the entire tsuka, giving the piece a solid, well-balanced feel in hand. A visible hamon line traces the edge, the natural result of the heat treatment process, adding depth and character to the polished chrome surface. For collectors interested in the broader range of high-carbon options, the 1090 Katana collection covers additional configurations in this steel grade.
What sets this particular piece apart is the dragon engraving etched along the blade flat - a detailed motif that runs several inches from the habaki area, rendered cleanly against the polished steel. The imagery is precise and immediately visible, giving the blade a distinct identity beyond the standard unadorned finish.
The tsuba is cast from alloy in a gold tone and carries a relief design featuring a crane in flight surrounded by plum blossoms - a composition rooted in classical Japanese aesthetic tradition. The circular guard is substantial enough to anchor the koshirae visually while the gold finish contrasts sharply against the black fittings above and below it.
The tsuka is built over a full-tang core and wrapped with PU white samegawa beneath black cord ito in a traditional diamond lozenge pattern. The white underlayer shows clearly through the gaps in the wrap, creating a deliberate two-tone contrast. The fuchi and kashira are finished in black, keeping the hardware consistent with the overall color scheme.
The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in black lacquer with a smooth, even coat. A black sageo cord is tied at the kurigata in a clean knot, completing the monochromatic presentation. Overall length is 40.55 inches and the piece weighs 2.8 lb, proportioned for display or koshirae study. Those exploring similar pieces in this finish range may also find the Real Carbon Steel Sword collection useful for comparison.
