Product Details
The blade is forged from 1090 carbon steel and ground to a full-tang construction that runs the complete length of the handle. A visible hamon line traces the edge in a natural wave pattern, the result of differential heat treatment that creates a contrast between the harder edge and the softer spine. The chrome-finished flat carries a hand-engraved dragon motif that winds along the blade's surface - fine line work that catches light differently at each angle. For collectors exploring 1090 Katana options, the steel grade offers a good balance of edge retention and overall toughness.
The tsuka is built on a hardwood core and wrapped in PU white samegawa - a textured underlayer that adds grip surface and visual contrast beneath the black ito. The cotton cord is wound in a traditional diamond (hishi) pattern, tight and consistent from fuchi to kashira. The black sageo hangs cleanly from a gold-accent kurikata, tying the handle's color palette together.
The tsuba is the visual centerpiece: a round iron-finish guard with openwork phoenix relief carving. The bird's wings and feathers are cut through the metal in layered detail, with a gold oval seppa at the center adding a deliberate accent against the matte black surround. The phoenix theme is consistent through the fuchi and kashira fittings, giving the koshirae assembly a unified design language.
The saya is shaped from hardwood and lacquered in a deep gloss black finish. A black sageo cord is looped through the kurikata, and the koiguchi fits snugly without play. The all-black exterior - from saya to handle to tsuba - creates a cohesive presentation that works as a standalone display piece against a wall mount or on a flat surface.
