Sode no Shirayuki Rukia Kuchiki Katana in White - Clay-Tempered 1065 Steel Bleach Replica Sword

This Sode no Shirayuki replica features a 28.5-inch blade forged from 1065 carbon steel using a clay-tempering process. The differential hardening produces a natural hamon line that waves along the length of the nagasa, with edge hardness reaching 60 HRC. The full tang blade is hand-finished with a polished chrome-tone surface that contrasts against the darker temper line, capturing the icy elegance of Rukia Kuchiki's signature zanpakuto from Bleach.

The tsuka measures 10.25 inches and is wrapped in white cord using a traditional diamond pattern over white same (ray skin). The fit is snug and the wrapping provides texture for a secure hold. White menuki sit beneath the ito, and the overall handle construction stays true to the anime's monochrome color palette.

At the junction of blade and handle sits a circular alloy tsuba with an open spoke design, painted white to match the theme. A gold-tone habaki with a serrated edge detail adds a warm metallic accent, providing visual contrast against the otherwise all-white fittings. This White Samurai Sword design remains faithful to the source material while incorporating functional forging techniques.

The saya is crafted from hardwood with a smooth matte white finish, measuring 28.5 inches to fully sheath the blade. A white sageo cord is tied at the kurikata in a traditional knot, and the koiguchi fits securely around the habaki for a satisfying draw. A decorative silver-tone bell charm hangs from the kashira on a short chain, replicating the iconic detail from Rukia's sword.

At 40.5 inches overall and 3.17 lbs, this is a full-size katana replica built with handmade Japanese katana craftsmanship. Whether displayed on a wall mount for your anime collection or carried to a cosplay event, the Sode no Shirayuki delivers both visual accuracy and material quality in a single collectible piece.
