Product Details
The blade is hand-forged from folded Damascus steel, with layered grain patterns visible across the polished chrome surface. A defined hamon line runs along the edge, the result of careful differential heat treatment that gives the blade both visual character and structural integrity. At 40.5 inches overall and 1.26 inches wide, the geometry is proportioned for a confident, balanced feel in the hand.
The full tang construction extends through the entire tsuka, keeping the blade and handle mechanically unified at a total weight of 3.17 lbs. The handle is wrapped in black cord using a traditional diamond pattern over PU black samegawa, with a menuki accent visible between the wrapping segments - the bottom detail panel in the product image shows this clearly.
The iron tsuba is the visual anchor of this build. Cast in a chrysanthemum petal motif with openwork cutouts between each lobe, it sits in matte black against the polished blade collar. The design draws from classic Japanese floral symbolism while giving the guard a graphic, almost architectural silhouette. Collectors interested in historically inspired fittings will find this tsuba a standout feature - it connects to the broader tradition covered in our Authentic Katana Sword lineup.
The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in gloss black lacquer, with an engraved surface pattern running along the body. A black sageo cord is attached at the kurigata, matching the handle wrap and completing the monochromatic koshirae. The fit between blade and saya is tight and consistent throughout the draw.
This katana presents in full black koshirae style - from tsuba to sageo - built around a Damascus steel blade with genuine hamon. At 3.17 lbs with a 40.5-inch profile, it works as a serious display piece or a collector's centerpiece. For more options in this material category, browse our Real Damascus Steel Sword collection.
