Boshin Katana | Damascus | Black | Honshu – Damascus steel decorative sword with tanto blade

This decorative katana features a hand-forged Damascus steel blade with distinctive wave patterns and a black finish. The tanto blade profile measures 78.1cm with a total sword length of 104.2cm and weight of 1.25kg.

Construction and materials

The blade showcases authentic Damascus steel construction with characteristic brown colouring and wave patterns. The handle utilises modern TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) for grip, while the included sheath is crafted from leather. The plain-edge blade maintains traditional tanto geometry.

Application and use

Designed as a decorative display piece for collectors and enthusiasts of Japanese sword craft. Suitable for wall mounting, display stands, or showcase presentation. The Damascus pattern creates visual interest under varying light conditions, making it effective as an interior focal point.

Integration and compatibility

The 104.2cm total length requires appropriate display space or mounting hardware. Standard katana display stands accommodate the dimensions and 1.25kg weight. The leather sheath provides storage when not displayed.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The Damascus blade requires regular light oiling to preserve the pattern and prevent oxidation. The TPR handle needs minimal maintenance. Store in the provided leather sheath in dry conditions when not on display.
