1090 Carbon Steel Katana with Dark Red Hamon Blade in Purple Saya - Obanai Replica

The blade is forged from 1090 carbon steel and finished in a deep dark red tone, with a visible hamon line tracing the edge from base to tip. The hand-finished surface catches light along the bevel, giving the blade a layered, dramatic appearance. At 40.55 inches overall and weighing 2.8 lb, the proportions stay true to a full-length katana profile. Collectors drawn to Purple 1095 Carbon Steel Katana styles will recognize the shared emphasis on bold blade coloring as a defining visual element.

The tsuka is wrapped in PU purple leather over a foundation of white PU samegawa. The contrast between the pale diamond-shaped samegawa windows and the purple outer wrap creates the characteristic Obanai handle pattern, finished with black menuki accents set at regular intervals along the grip.

At the guard, a gold-tone alloy tsuba carries a chrysanthemum motif - open petals radiate outward from a domed oval center, with each petal cleanly outlined against a darkened background. The gold finish ties the fitting to the fuchi and coordinates with the kashira at the pommel end.

The saya is lacquered hardwood in deep purple, wrapped across its length in a diagonal pattern of white and lighter purple stripe lines. A white sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata and drapes cleanly alongside the scabbard. The full Purple Saya Japanese Samurai Swords collection offers additional reference points for this style of koshirae presentation.

Total length is 40.55 inches with a blade width of 1.259 inches and thickness of 0.275 inches. Shipping weight is 3.3 lb. This piece is a display replica inspired by the Demon Slayer character Obanai, and no sword stand is included.
