Product Details
The blade is forged from damascus steel using traditional folding techniques, producing the layered grain surface that makes each piece visually distinct. A visible hamon line runs along the spine-facing edge of the 40.5-inch blade, the result of differential heat treatment that gives the steel its characteristic light-and-shadow contrast. At 1.26 inches wide and finished to a chrome polish, the blade carries a full tang construction extending through the handle for structural integrity.
The tsuka is wrapped in black cotton ito in the classic diamond-gap pattern over real white samegawa (rayskin), a traditional handle construction that provides texture and grip. A copper menuki sits beneath the wrapping, visible through the gap in the lower portion of the handle. The black sageo cord is secured at the kurikata of the saya, completing the koshirae-style mounting.
The silver-bronze tsuba is cast in a cloud motif with layered relief detail - arching forms in silver with bronze accents create a naturalistic cloudscape design. This is one of the most visually detailed elements of the piece, and pairs well with the mixed-metal menuki below.

The saya is the standout visual element: hardwood construction lacquered in black-blue with a lightning theme applied across the full length. The pattern features branching electric lines in blue, gold-green, and white against the dark base - a modern artistic treatment on a traditionally structured scabbard. Real horn koiguchi and kojiri fittings are fitted at the mouth and tip of the saya.
Overall length is 40.5 inches, blade width 1.26 inches, height at spine 0.275 inches, and total weight 3.17 lb. Packaged at 43.3 x 3.93 x 3.14 inches, shipping weight 4.4 lb. This koshirae-style replica is designed for collectors who want both craft detail and a strong visual presence on display.
