1060 Carbon Steel Katana with Black Lacquer Saya - Full Tang, Gold Fittings, Wavy Hamon
- Blade forged from 1060 carbon steel with a visible wavy hamon line running the full length - a hand-finished edge temper pattern that adds both visual character and functional hardness to the cutting edge.
- Full-tang construction runs the entire length of the handle, giving the katana solid structural integrity and well-centered balance across its 40.5-inch overall length and 3.17 lb weight.
- Black hardwood saya with glossy lacquer finish - smooth draw, tight fit, and a high-contrast matte-to-gloss visual pairing against the polished chrome blade.
- Tsuka wrapped in black-and-white cord over PU white samegawa, forming a classic diamond pattern secured by a gold-tone kashira cap - clean contrast against the dark handle core.
- Round black alloy tsuba in a cutout wheel design pairs with gold-tone habaki and fuchi fittings - a bold two-tone metal accent scheme that defines the koshirae aesthetic.
- Gold silk-wrapped koiguchi band on the saya adds a refined detail accent at the throat of the scabbard, tying the gold fittings across handle and sheath into one cohesive look.

Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from 1060 carbon steel and hand-finished with a wavy hamon line that runs visibly along the length of the polished chrome surface. The hamon is the result of differential hardening during the tempering process - not a cosmetic etch - giving the spine and edge distinct hardness characteristics. At 40.5 inches overall with a blade width of 1.26 inches and a spine thickness of 0.275 inches, the geometry is well-proportioned for a traditional katana profile. This is part of our 1060 Samurai Sword lineup for collectors who want proven carbon steel at an accessible price point.
The full-tang construction extends the blade steel through the entire length of the tsuka, secured under the handle wrap rather than pinned at the hilt. This approach distributes weight evenly and eliminates the weak joint that threaded or partial-tang designs introduce. At 3.17 lbs, the sword carries well in hand without feeling tip-heavy.
The tsuka is wrapped in black-and-white diamond-pattern cord over a PU white samegawa base. The contrast between the white ray skin underlayer showing through the diamonds and the black wrap gives the handle a clean, graphic look. A gold-tone kashira cap finishes the pommel end, adding a warm metal accent against the dark handle.
The round black alloy tsuba features a cutout wheel design - four curved openings in a circular frame - which keeps the guard visually light without sacrificing its separation function between blade and handle. Gold-tone habaki and fuchi fittings flank the tsuba on both sides, carrying the gold accent established by the kashira down to the blade transition.
The black hardwood saya is finished in a high-gloss lacquer coat that gives it a hard, smooth surface. A gold-wrapped band at the koiguchi throat echoes the metal fittings on the handle side. The black sageo cord ties off cleanly for carry or display. Overall, this katana pairs a functional 1060 carbon steel blade with a cohesive black-and-gold koshirae that reads well as a Black Katana Sword centerpiece for serious collectors.
