Product Details

The blade is forged from 1095 carbon steel and runs full tang through the entire handle - 40.5 inches overall, 1.26 inches wide at the base, and weighing 3.17 lbs. A visible hamon traces the length of the edge, and wave engravings along the blade surface add a second layer of texture that catches light differently at every angle. The chrome-finish nagasa contrasts cleanly against the all-black presentation. For collectors exploring 1095 Samurai Katana options, this piece delivers both the metallurgy and the aesthetic in one build.

The tsuka is wrapped in black cord over PU white samegawa, producing the traditional diamond pattern with white menuki accents visible through the wrap. The black-on-white contrast reads clearly from a distance and provides a firm, textured grip surface. The antique brass kashira caps the handle end with a sculpted finish consistent with the warm-metal tone carried through the fittings.

The gold-tone round tsuba uses a relief-carved surface with organic patterning - neither plain nor overly ornate. It sits flush at the habaki collar and provides a visual anchor between the black tsuka and the polished blade. The fittings follow a consistent antique brass and gold palette that holds together as a complete koshirae set.

The black hardwood saya is finished in natural lacquer and hand-painted with white cherry blossom clusters near the koiguchi. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurikata in a traditional wrap. The lacquer gives the saya a smooth, sealed surface while the blossom detail keeps the piece from reading as purely minimalist. This is the detail that separates it visually from standard Black Katana offerings.

Overall dimensions: 40.5 inches length, 1.26 inches blade width, 0.275 inches thickness. Shipping weight 4.4 lbs. Presented in koshirae style with matching sageo, full fittings, and lacquered saya. Sword stand not included.
