- Forged from 1095 high carbon steel, the black-finished full tang blade delivers consistent hardness and a hand-finished edge with a visible hamon line along its 40.5-inch length.
- Full tang construction runs the blade steel through the entire tsuka core, distributing the 3.17 lb weight evenly for confident handling and long-term structural integrity.
- The tsuka is wrapped in purple ito over white PU samegawa in a traditional diamond pattern, with white menuki accents adding texture and visual depth to the grip.
- A gold-tone tiger-themed tsuba anchors the koshirae with raised relief sculpting - tigers rendered in fine detail on a rounded iron-profile guard that ties together the gold and black palette.
- The black hardwood lacquer saya features a marble-speckled finish with embedded red flecks, secured with a purple sageo cord knotted at the kurigata in a layered decorative wrap.

Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from 1095 high carbon steel and finished in a full black coat that makes the hamon line stand out in sharp contrast along the cutting edge. At 40.5 inches overall with a 1.26-inch width and 0.275-inch spine thickness, the geometry is consistent from base to tip - a profile suited to Black Blade Katana Sword collectors who want a piece that looks as considered as it performs. The full tang construction ensures the steel runs continuously through the handle core, keeping the 3.17 lb balance point stable and the assembly rigid over time.
The tsuka is built with white PU samegawa beneath purple ito wrapped in the traditional diamond hishi pattern. White menuki sit flush within the wrap at symmetrical intervals, giving the grip both visual rhythm and tactile reference points during handling. The purple sageo cord matches the ito exactly, reinforcing the intentional color story across the full koshirae.
The tsuba is one of the most distinctive elements of this piece - a gold-tone guard cast with a tiger motif in raised relief. The sculpting covers both faces of the tsuba with figural detail: the tiger's form is rendered with enough depth that light catches the contours from different angles. The rounded silhouette sits comfortably between the tsuka and habaki without excess bulk.
The saya is lacquered hardwood finished in gloss black with a marble-pattern surface - black base with scattered white veining and embedded red flecks that catch light when the saya rotates. A purple sageo is knotted at the kurigata in a multi-loop decorative wrap that mirrors the tsuka ito color exactly. This Granite 1095 Carbon Steel Katana saya treatment gives the scabbard a surface character uncommon in this category.
Overall dimensions run 40.5 inches in length, 1.26 inches wide, with a shipping weight of 4.4 lb. The koshirae pairing of purple, gold, and matte black creates a palette that reads distinctly across display contexts - wall mount, stand, or case presentation. Sword stand is not included.
