Product Details

The blade is forged from T10 carbon steel and hand-finished to a chrome polish, with a clearly defined hamon line tracing the edge - a direct result of the differential hardening process. At 40.5 inches overall and 1.26 inches wide, the geometry is balanced for a full-length katana profile, and the full tang construction keeps the assembly rigid from tip to kashira.

The tsuka is wrapped in black cord over genuine red samegawa, with red menuki accents breaking up the dark wrap at regular intervals. The contrast between the black braid and the red underlayer gives the handle a layered visual depth that reads clearly even at a distance. A rose gold kashira caps the handle, tying into the metallic theme carried through the fittings.

The rose gold tsuba is shaped in a rounded square form and engraved with a cloud motif in an antiqued finish. The warm copper-rose tone sits between the dark tsuka and the chrome blade, acting as a visual anchor point for the entire koshirae. The engraving detail is crisp and dimensional, visible in close inspection without being overworked.

The saya is built from hardwood and coated in natural lacquer, finished in a deep dark red ground. Hand-painted gold floral imagery - large stylized blooms and scattered petal details in gold, cream, and rust tones - covers most of the saya's length. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata, providing the only cool-toned element against the warm burgundy and gold finish.

At 3.17 lbs with a shipping weight of 4.4 lbs, this katana is sized and weighted for display or collection use. The koshirae-style assembly - coordinated fittings in rose gold, black-red cord, and a hand-painted saya - makes it a cohesive piece suited to collectors drawn to traditional Japanese aesthetics with a rich color palette. If you're also considering naginata-style pieces, our Samurai Naginata collection offers additional long-blade options in similar traditional styles.
