Forging & Steel
The 72 cm blade is forged from 1060 carbon steel, a high-carbon alloy that takes and holds a true edge while staying resilient under impact. It is hand-polished to reveal the steel and mounted on a full-tang core, so the whole katana is one solid piece. Two bamboo mekugi pin the tang for full disassembly.
Mounts & Fittings
A sculpted iron tsuba seats the balance and guards the hand, carved iron menuki sit under the synthetic-shagreen wrap for grip, and the light lacquered wood saya keeps the sword nimble and clean on a stand.
Care & Maintenance
A high-carbon blade like this rewards a little upkeep. Because 1060 steel is reactive, wipe the blade down after every handling session and lay on a thin film of light mineral or camellia oil before it slides back into the saya, which stops surface rust from ever taking hold. Knock out the two bamboo mekugi when you want to strip the sword for a deeper clean, and store it edge-up on a stand so the lacquered scabbard never bears the weight of the blade. Treated this way, it stays keen, bright and display-ready for years.
Is it battle-ready?
Yes. The sharpened, full-tang 1060 blade handles light tatami practice and stands proud on display. Complete Zoro’s collection from our anime katana range, including the Wado Ichimonji katana and the Ame no Habakiri katana.
