1065 Carbon Steel Katana with Dragon-Engraved Blade in White Multicolor Dragon Saya

The blade on this katana is forged from full-tang 1065 carbon steel, ground to a chrome-bright finish with a clean hamon line tracing the edge. A dragon motif is engraved directly into the spine, running from the habaki area toward the midsection - visible in the product images as a fluid, linear relief against the polished steel. Blade dimensions measure 40.5 inches in overall length, 1.26 inches wide, and 0.275 inches at the spine, with the complete piece weighing 3.17 lb. If you're exploring other high-carbon options, the 1065 Carbon Steel Katana collection offers additional configurations in this steel grade.

The tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped in PU black samegawa, then bound in white and black cord using a traditional diamond-pattern wrap. The kashira and fuchi are finished in silver-tone alloy, keeping the hardware consistent with the overall monochromatic handle palette. The wrap pattern sits tight with no shifting, suited for extended handling during display rotation or collection inspection.

The tsuba is cast in silver-tone alloy with a dragon theme - spiked protrusions frame the circular guard, and sculpted dragon claw details appear at the seppa area. The guard photographs prominently in the lower-left detail image, showing the dimensional relief work on both faces. For collectors drawn to dragon-themed koshirae across different configurations, the Gold Katana Sword collection presents contrasting colorway interpretations of the same motif.

The saya is the visual centerpiece of this piece. The base is hardwood lacquered in white, then hand-painted with a full-length multicolor dragon composition - blues, greens, reds, and yellows depicting a dragon in motion across clouds and waves. The sageo cord is white, coordinating with the saya base color. Silver-tone bands accent the koiguchi and kojiri, maintaining hardware consistency with the tsuba and handle fittings.

At 40.5 inches overall and 3.17 lb, this katana follows standard koshirae proportions for a tachi-length display piece. The complete package ships at 4.4 lb in a 43.3 x 3.93 x 3.14 inch box. Sword stand is not included.
