Inspired by the Age of the Samurai

Forged by hand from 1045 carbon steel, this katana is a faithful replica of feudal Japanese katanas, handmade with enchanting detail. Carbon steel is known for its strength and durability. This katana, also known as a Japanese longsword, can be wielded with one or both hands. This is a fully functional weapon. It’s great for practice cuts and display. 1045 carbon steel means the blade has 0.45% carbon content, offering a great balance between toughness and edge retention. Being a fully functional weapon means this katana has a full tang. The metal blade extends into the handle in one solid piece, enhancing its strength and durability.

The sharpened blade is slightly curved like true uchigatana from feudal Japanese history. The uchigatana is another traditional term for describing this slightly curved Japanese katana. The blade has been differentially hardened to reveal a natural hamon line. Hamon is the wavy pattern close to the cutting edge of the blade. Its sharpened edge is rated at a Rockwell hardness of 45. There is a distinct bohi along the blade, also known as the fuller. This fuller removes extra weight from the blade without compromising its integrity. The tip, also known as the kissaki, is medium length.

Further down, the zinc alloy habaki, or blade collar is anchored to the guard by the notched seppa. Seppa are two small washers placed on both sides of the crossguard. This blade collar has a brass finish for antique charm. The tsuba crossguard is fashioned in the Kaku-gata style. This style resembles a square with rounded corners. Engraved throughout the crossguard are Japanese trees for natural, yet enchanting detail.

The wooden handle is wrapped in a layer of faux white ray skin, then wrapped with black polyester cord, known as tsuka-ito. Embossed on the pebbled faux ray skin is a zinc alloy menuki with a brass finish. Menuki refers to the decoration on the handle just underneath the tsuka-ito wrapping. At the bottom, the hilt is wrapped through a brass kashira pommel.

This black carbon steel katana comes with a black lacquered saya scabbard and a certificate of authenticity. The certificate not only ensures you’re holding the real thing, it also provides information about the weapon. Down the length, the scabbard is patterned with golden flowers for more detail. The scabbard has black sageo, also known as a cord tied around the scabbard for tying onto your belt. The sageo is tied to a kurigata, known as the protrusion on the scabbard. The protrusion has a brass spacer. Please note the cords on the scabbard and the handle may not be as pictured.
