Product Details

The blade on this katana is forged from manganese steel and finished in a distinctive gray tone, with a bright polished edge that contrasts cleanly against the darker body of the nagasa. The surface shows a smooth, even finish without visible hamon, reflecting the steel's uniform heat treatment. At 40.5 inches overall with a blade width of 1.26 inches, the proportions sit firmly in full-size katana territory. For collectors drawn to the Beautiful Samurai Sword category, the gray blade tone paired with all-black fittings makes this piece visually distinctive on any wall mount or display stand.

The full tang construction extends through the entire tsuka, anchored by a mena pin visible through the handle. Black cord ito is wrapped tightly in a traditional diamond pattern over the handle core, maintaining grip texture and structural cohesion. The wrap sits flush and even, with no loose sections visible along the handle's length.

The tsuba is the most immediately striking fitting on this sword. Cast from black alloy, it features a modern slotted design with two large rectangular cutouts framing the blade slot - a deliberate departure from classical circular or floral guard shapes. The matte black finish matches the handle fittings and saya hardware without any metallic gloss, keeping the overall palette consistent.

The saya is constructed from a rigid black PU leather material formed to the blade's curve, with a row of evenly spaced metal eyelets running down the spine from throat to tip. These eyelets add visual structure and reinforce the scabbard's form. A black sageo cord is attached near the throat for carry or display mounting. If you're comparing saya styles, the Black Cloud Tsuba Katana collection offers additional black-finished katana options with different guard themes.

At 3.17 lb and packaged at 43.3 inches, this is a full-weight, full-size katana replica. The combination of gray manganese steel, slotted black alloy tsuba, eyelet-lined PU saya, and tightly wrapped black ito creates a cohesive modern aesthetic that separates it from traditionally styled pieces.

  • Manganese steel blade with a gray-toned, precision-finished surface and a clean hand-finished edge running the full length of the curved nagasa.
  • Full tang construction runs the entire length of the tsuka, providing solid structural integrity and well-distributed balance across the 40.5-inch overall length.
  • Slotted black alloy tsuba with a modern industrial silhouette - dual rectangular cutouts and matte black finish replace traditional ornamental motifs with angular precision.
  • Black PU leather-wrapped saya features evenly spaced metal eyelets along the spine, giving the scabbard a structured, utilitarian aesthetic consistent with the sword's overall design.
  • Black cord tsuka-ito is tightly wrapped in a diamond pattern over a black handle core, providing a secure grip surface and a cohesive all-black handle assembly.
  • Total weight of 3.17 lb and overall length of 40.5 inches make this a substantial full-size katana replica suited for display or collection.
