1065 Carbon Steel Katana with Copper Blade Finish - Black Lacquer Saya with Floral Motif, Brown Handle
- 1065 carbon steel blade with a distinctive copper-toned finish and a hand-etched crackle texture across the flat, giving the nagasa a striking aged-bronze visual depth rarely seen in this category.
- Full tang construction distributes weight evenly from tip to pommel, producing natural handling balance whether mounted on a display stand or examined up close.
- Black hardwood lacquer saya features hand-painted copper floral branch motifs trailing the full length - a refined contrast against the gloss black ground that elevates the overall presentation.
- Brown cotton cord tsuka-ito is wrapped in traditional diamond pattern over PU samegawa, paired with a gold-tone geometric tsuba and brass fittings for a warm, cohesive color palette.
- Brown sageo cord is knotted and looped at the saya opening, completing the koshirae-style mounting with a detail-oriented finish consistent throughout the piece.

Product Details
The blade of this katana is forged from 1065 carbon steel and finished with a deep copper tone across the full length of the nagasa. A hand-worked crackle texture covers the flat of the blade, creating a visual pattern that catches light from multiple angles and sets this piece apart from standard polished finishes. The edge runs clean and precise along the entire cutting length, and the full tang construction carries through to the base of the handle for consistent structural integrity.

The tsuka is assembled over a full tang core and wrapped in brown cotton cord using a traditional diamond-pattern tsuka-ito technique over PU black samegawa. The wrap sits firm and even from kashira to tsuba, providing a textured grip surface with good hand placement definition. Brass fittings at both ends of the handle complement the warm copper tones of the blade.
The gold-tone tsuba is cast in a geometric basket-weave pattern with raised figural relief at the center - visible in the image as a textured circular guard with intricate surface work. Fuchi and habaki fittings carry the same warm gold tone, tying the transition between handle and blade into a unified presentation.
The saya is constructed from hardwood and finished in high-gloss black lacquer. Hand-painted copper and terracotta floral branch motifs run along the lower half of the scabbard, rendered with fine detail against the black ground. A brown sageo cord is attached at the kurikata with a traditional loop knot, matching the tsuka-ito color exactly.
