1060 Carbon Steel Hanazukuri Blade

The blade is crafted from 1060 carbon steel and finished using the Hanazukuri process. The steel provides a classic high-carbon-steel foundation, while the specialized blade finishing gives the sword its distinctive visual character.

The blade measures approximately 72 cm (28.3 inches) and features a traditional Shinogi-zukuri profile. A prominent Bo-Hi groove runs along the blade, contributing to its traditional appearance and helping reduce overall blade weight.

Shinogi-zukuri Blade Profile

The Shinogi-zukuri profile is one of the most recognizable Japanese sword blade forms. Its defined ridge line creates a clear transition between the main blade surface and the edge, emphasizing the traditional katana silhouette.

Combined with the curved blade and large Bo-Hi, this construction gives the Ghost of Yotei Soul Dark Night Gilded Katana a distinctive appearance from every angle.

Dark Night Gilded Design

The Dark Night Gilded theme is built around the contrast between dark elements and gold-tone detailing. The darker fittings create a mysterious samurai aesthetic, while the gilded accents provide a striking visual highlight.

The solid-wood handle and scabbard feature a piano-lacquer finish, giving the sword a smooth and polished appearance suitable for display.

Traditional-Style Fittings

The katana is equipped with an alloy tsuba, bamboo mekugi, brass seppa, and a copper habaki. The combination of wood, metal, and lacquer details creates a cohesive Japanese-inspired design.

With its 1060 carbon steel Hanazukuri blade, Shinogi-zukuri profile, full-tang construction, dark-and-gold fittings, and lacquered wooden furniture, this katana is designed as a distinctive collectible for fans of Ghost of Yotei and Japanese samurai sword aesthetics.
