Product Details
The blade of this katana is hand-forged from T10 carbon steel, shaped into a 40.5-inch nagasa with a chrome-polished finish and a clearly defined hamon line running its length. A dragon engraving is etched directly into the blade surface, adding visual depth to the steel. The blade measures 1.26 inches wide and 0.275 inches thick at the spine, with a total piece weight of 3.17 lbs. For collectors interested in exploring more T10 and high-carbon options, the Best Samurai Sword collection offers a curated range.
The tsuka is wrapped in black ito over a same-textured base, using a tight traditional braid pattern visible in the diamond-shaped openings along the handle length. A silver kashira caps the end, matching the metallic tones carried throughout the fittings. The grip is firm and consistent, built on a full tang construction that extends the steel continuously from tip to pommel.
The tsuba is a standout element - a silver-toned round guard featuring a coiling dragon in detailed relief carving, framed against a dark background. A golden-toned fuchi collar sits immediately below, bridging the tsuba to the black tsuka wrap and adding a warm contrast to the otherwise monochromatic scheme. Those drawn to this dragon-themed guard can find more pieces in the Copper Tsuba Japanese Samurai Swords collection.
The saya is finished in a solid black hardwood lacquer with a smooth, consistent gloss. A dragon-themed kojiri cap in darker metal anchors the tip of the scabbard, continuing the dragon motif from tsuba to saya end. A black sageo cord is tied at the kurigata with a hanging tassel, adding traditional detail to the scabbard presentation.
Overall dimensions measure 40.5 inches in length, 1.26 inches wide, and 0.275 inches in blade thickness. Shipping weight is 4.4 lbs in a 43.3 x 3.93 x 3.14-inch package. This piece brings together a cohesive dragon theme, full black koshirae, and hand-forged T10 steel into a single well-resolved katana suited for serious collectors.
