Boshin Double Edge Katana – Double-edged display sword with chrome finish

This decorative katana features an unconventional double-edged design with a spearpoint blade profile. The 103.66cm total length sword combines modern construction with traditional Japanese styling elements, finished in chrome for a mirror-like appearance.

Construction and materials

The 77.47cm blade is forged from 1060 high carbon steel with a chrome finish. Total weight is 1.19kg. The handle features a modern TPR (thermoplastic rubber) coating for grip, while the scabbard combines wood core with imitation leather wrapping and traditional cotton cord.

Application and use

Designed as a display piece for collectors and enthusiasts of Japanese sword design. The double-edged construction deviates from traditional single-edged katana specifications, making it suitable for decorative purposes only. The oversized pommel and balanced weight distribution allow stable positioning on display stands.

Integration and compatibility

This plain-edge katana fits standard sword display stands and wall mounts designed for Japanese swords. The included scabbard provides protective storage when not displayed. No specific mounting hardware or adapters required.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The chrome finish requires regular polishing with soft cloth to remove fingerprints and maintain mirror appearance. Store in dry conditions to prevent moisture damage to the 1060 high carbon steel blade. The TPR handle coating is low-maintenance and retains grip properties over extended periods.
