1060 Manganese Steel Katana with Black Piano Lacquer Saya in Red and Black Ito - Full Tang Collectible Sword

This full tang katana features a 27.5-inch blade forged from 1060 manganese steel, hand-polished to a bright chrome finish and hardened to 58 HRC. The steel offers a balance of toughness and edge retention suited to a high-quality collectible replica. Each blade is individually finished to bring out a clean, reflective surface along the shinogi-ji and a defined edge line running the length of the kissaki.;

The 13.8-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped in authentic white rayskin, then bound with alternating red and black cotton ito in a traditional crosshatch pattern. The two-tone wrap is tight and even, creating a striking visual rhythm that also ensures a firm, textured grip. Dual bamboo mekugi pins secure the nakago within the handle for structural integrity.

A round gold-tone alloy tsuba sits between blade and handle, its surface covered in a fine crosshatch texture with a small ornamental motif near the rim. The gold finish pairs naturally with the warm white of the rayskin and provides a visual bridge between the dark handle wrapping and the polished steel above.

The 30.2-inch hardwood saya is coated in a deep black piano lacquer that gives it a mirror-like gloss under light, with fine red streaks running diagonally across the surface. A vivid red sageo cord is knotted at the kurikata, and the koiguchi fits snugly to the habaki for a satisfying draw and seat. This saya style is also featured across our Black Katana selection.

At 44 inches overall and 2.65 lbs, this katana is proportioned for wall-mounted display or stand presentation. The red-and-black color scheme runs consistently from handle to saya, making it a cohesive display piece that balances bold color contrast with traditional Japanese sword silhouette and construction details.
