- Forged from Damascus steel and clay-tempered, the blade develops a distinct wavy hamon line - a visible marker of differential heat treatment that adds structural character across the edge and spine.
- Wave engraving runs along the blade surface, complementing the folded steel's natural layered texture; the hand-finished edge and polished chrome finish give the nagasa a mirror-bright appearance with refined geometry.
- The tsuka is wrapped in black cord over white samegawa (ray skin), with diamond-shaped openings exposing the grip beneath - a classic koshirae layout that balances grip security with traditional aesthetics.
- Bronze-gold cloud-themed tsuba is cast in copper and gilded, featuring sculpted cloud motifs across both faces; the warm metallic tone bridges the black handle wrap and the deep blue saya in a cohesive color story.
- The dark blue hardwood saya is finished in premium natural lacquer with visible depth and gloss; real horn accents at the koiguchi and kojiri add authentic detail, and the black sageo cord is knotted traditionally at the kurikata.

Product Details
The blade of this katana is forged from Damascus steel and clay-tempered, producing a wavy hamon line along the edge that reflects the differential hardening process. A wave engraving decorates the blade surface, adding visual movement that pairs naturally with the folded steel's layered pattern. At 40.5 inches overall with a 1.26-inch width at the base, the chrome-finished nagasa carries a balanced geometry suited to display and koshirae-style presentation.

The tsuka is constructed with a full-tang foundation, wrapped in black cord over genuine white samegawa. The diamond-pattern wrap follows traditional spacing, with each opening exposing a clean section of the ray skin beneath. The overall handle length works with the blade's weight distribution to keep the 3.17-lb sword feeling intentional rather than front-heavy.
The bronze-gold cloud tsuba is the visual centerpiece of the fittings. Cast in copper and gilded, the cloud motifs are sculpted in relief across both faces, with the warm bronze-gold tone picking up light in contrast to the black ito. The seppa and habaki maintain the same warm metal family, keeping the transition from handle to blade cohesive.
The dark blue hardwood saya is lacquered to a high gloss, with the deep navy finish showing real depth under light. Real horn fittings at the koiguchi and kojiri provide structural reinforcement at the wear points while contributing to the sword's traditional presentation. The black sageo is knotted at the kurikata in a standard style, with a tasseled end adding a finishing detail.
At 40.5 inches in overall length and 3.17 pounds, this katana fits squarely within traditional proportions for a full-size replica. The koshirae-style fittings, lacquered saya, and gilded tsuba make it a strong candidate for Japanese Katana Sword collectors who prioritize complete, visually unified mountings over unadorned designs.
