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.
