Product Details

The blade on this katana is ground from full-tang 1065 carbon steel and finished to a bright chrome polish, with a natural hamon line running along the edge that reflects the hand-finishing process. At 40.5 inches overall and 1.26 inches wide, the proportions follow traditional katana geometry without unnecessary bulk. The steel comes in at 3.17 lb total weight - solid enough to feel substantial in hand, balanced enough for extended display handling. This piece is part of our Natural 1065 Carbon Steel Katana lineup, which focuses on accessible carbon steel builds with strong visual character.

The tsuka is wrapped in white-black cord in the traditional koshirae style, creating a tight, layered grip surface that holds its form well over time. The wrap pattern is consistent end to end, and the white-on-black contrast ties directly into the saya's color scheme for a cohesive presentation.

A round, plain gold-tone tsuba sits at the junction of blade and handle. The warm gold finish against the silver blade and white tsuka creates a deliberate three-tone contrast - chrome, white-black, and gold - that gives this piece a more formal, ceremonial look than the average replica.

The saya is where this katana makes its strongest visual statement. Constructed from hardwood and finished in a white-black lacquer, the entire length of the scabbard is engraved with flowing dragon motifs - scrolling clouds, scaled bodies, and curling detail work that catches light differently depending on angle. The black engraving over the white lacquer base reads clearly from a distance, making this a strong shelf or wall display piece. Collectors drawn to dragon-themed fittings will find this saya design more detailed than most entry-level options. Browse our Dragon Tsuba Katana collection for related dragon-motif builds.
