Product Details

The blade is forged from 1090 carbon steel and finished with a distinctive gold hue that extends across the full nagasa. The hand-finished edge and bright polish give the blade a luminous quality under light, making it a natural focal point whether mounted horizontally or displayed vertically. At 40.55 inches overall and 2.8 lb, the proportions feel substantial without being unwieldy.

The tsuka is built on a full-tang foundation and wrapped in PU black samegawa base layer, over which gold-and-black ito is applied in a tight diamond hishi-gumi pattern. The alternating colors create a high-contrast visual rhythm that echoes the sword's overall black-gold palette. Gold-tone fuchi and kashira fittings cap both ends of the handle, completing a cohesive koshirae-style mount. If you're drawn to this color story, the broader Gold Samurai Sword collection offers additional variants in similar finish directions.

The tsuba is cast from durable alloy and features a coiling dragon motif rendered in relief - gold dragon body against a textured black ground. The oval shape and clean casting lines keep the guard proportional to the blade width of 1.259 inches. A matching gold menuki sits beneath the ito wrap, adding another layer of detail visible through the diamond openings.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in a warm gold lacquer that mirrors the blade's hue. Spiral black accent lines wrap the body of the scabbard at even intervals, referencing the handle's ito wrapping pattern and giving the sheathed sword a visually unified appearance. A black sageo cord is fitted at the kurigata, providing the standard attachment point for carry or display. For collectors specifically focused on this finish family, the Gold Katana collection gathers comparable pieces in one place.

Total length is 40.55 inches with a shipping weight of 3.3 lb. The sword stand is not included. This piece is suited for collectors who want a bold, high-contrast koshirae with consistent gold-black color coordination across every component - from blade to sageo.

  • 1090 carbon steel blade with a precision-finished gold hue, hand-finished edge, and a bright mirror polish that runs the full length of the nagasa - a striking centerpiece for any serious collection.
  • Handle wrapped in PU black samegawa with gold-and-black ito in a traditional diamond pattern, paired with gold-tone fuchi and kashira fittings that unify the koshirae color scheme.
  • Gold lacquered hardwood saya features spiral black accent lines along the body with a fitted black sageo cord - visually consistent with the handle's gold-black contrast palette.
  • Black alloy tsuba cast with a coiling dragon relief in gold tone against a dark ground - a bold design element that anchors the guard's black-gold color story and nods to classic Japanese motifs.
  • Overall length 40.55 in, blade width 1.259 in, weight 2.8 lb - proportions that suit wall display or shelf presentation in a full koshirae mounting.
