Product Details

The blade is forged from 1065 carbon steel and ground to a full-length chrome polish that catches light along its entire profile. A natural hamon line traces the edge from base to tip, a byproduct of the differential heat treatment process that gives this steel its visual signature. At 40.5 inches overall and 3.17 pounds, the geometry sits in the range collectors and practitioners associate with a standard tachi-length katana. For anyone building a focused collection of 1065 Carbon Steel Japanese Samurai Swords, this blade's finish and hamon clarity make it a strong centerpiece.

The handle assembly follows a traditional koshirae approach. Black cotton ito is wrapped over red PU samegawa in a tight diamond pattern, exposing the red underlayer at each opening and creating the two-tone black-red contrast visible from tsuka to kashira. The construction is full tang, meaning the steel runs continuously from blade tip through the full length of the handle core.

The gold-tone tsuba is the most sculptural element of the fittings. Relief-carved samurai figures occupy the face of the guard in a layered composition - warriors, foliage, and atmospheric detail worked into a circular field. The warm antique-gold finish contrasts against the chrome blade and dark handle wrap, grounding the piece visually.

The dark red hardwood saya is finished in piano lacquer and carries hand-painted white floral decoration - chrysanthemum blooms and trailing vines that run from mid-saya toward the tip. The glossy lacquer surface amplifies the depth of the crimson ground color. A black sageo cord ties at the kurigata, providing the only other dark accent on an otherwise bold red surface. This saya design puts it alongside the most visually distinctive entries in the Real Japanese Katana category.

Overall dimensions: 40.5-inch length, 1.26-inch blade width, 0.275-inch spine thickness, 3.17-pound weight. Packaged at 43.2 x 3.93 x 3.14 inches, shipping weight 4.4 pounds. Sword stand not included.

  • 1065 carbon steel blade with a visible hamon line runs the full length, hand-finished to a bright chrome polish with a refined edge geometry suited for collectors and display.
  • Full tang construction bonds blade to handle in a single unbroken piece of steel, delivering the structural integrity and balance that define a properly built katana replica.
  • Dark red hardwood saya finished in high-gloss piano lacquer and hand-painted with white floral motifs - chrysanthemum and vine clusters that stand out sharply against the deep crimson ground.
  • Gold-tone samurai-themed tsuba features deeply relief-carved figures set against a textured background, adding a layer of cultural artistry to the koshirae fittings.
  • Black-red tsuka wraps black cotton ito over red PU samegawa in a traditional diamond pattern, secured with a black sageo for a contrasting two-tone grip presentation.
