Clean, calm, and intimidating in the best way—this Water Hashira–inspired katana brings a sharp blue-and-black aesthetic with traditional Japanese styling details. Built with 9260 spring steel and finished with high-temperature heat-color/blackening treatment, it’s a striking piece for display, photography, or themed collections.

Design & Aesthetics

This sword’s look is defined by crisp contrast and minimalist confidence:

Deep black saya with a subtle textured finish and gold-tone accents
Blue-toned blade appearance created through high-temperature finishing
Hexagon-style guard (tsuba) with a bold, geometric profile
White handle wrap over black rayskin-style panels for a classic diamond pattern

Blade & Craftsmanship

The blade is made from 9260 spring steel, chosen for its toughness and resilience. Each sword is hand forged and processed with high-temperature baked-color / blackening techniques, producing a distinctive darkened finish and colored tone.

Fittings & Saya

Mounted with quality alloy fittings featuring a baked/heat-colored finish, the sword keeps a cohesive premium look. The scabbard is crafted from hardwood and finished with painted lacquer, giving it a durable, refined surface.

The kanji shown on the blade reads “悪鬼滅殺”, commonly translated as “Destroy Evil Demons.”
