Unlike a polished blade that reflects light, a black blade absorbs light — creating a sense of depth, mystery, and visual drama that makes it unlike any other katana. In Japanese sword tradition, the concept of a blade that has been transformed through extraordinary mastery — a blade that has absorbed the spirit of its wielder — is one of the most powerful and enduring ideas in sword culture. The black blade katana captures this aesthetic in a functional, handmade piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Bronze Handle — The Rarest Color in Katana Design?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBronze (kin-cha, golden-brown) is the rarest handle color in katana design — far less common than black, red, blue, green, or white. The warm metallic glow of bronze creates a visual contrast against the black blade that is unlike any other color combination: the cold darkness of the black blade set against the warm, ancient glow of bronze. Bronze is the color of ancient weapons, of the first metal tools that humanity forged — a color that speaks to the deep history of blade-making across all cultures. A black blade with a bronze handle is a katana that stands apart from every other blade in any collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Is This For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollectors searching for the best black blade katana with bronze handle under $160\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollectors who want the rarest color combination in katana design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollectors who want a black blade katana that stands apart from standard all-black presentations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone searching for a unique black blade katana gift under $160\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 105 cm (41 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length (Nagasa): 72 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Length (Tsuka): 27 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Width: approx. 3 cm (1.2 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.2 kg (2.5 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade: 1060 Carbon Steel, black finish, hand sharpened\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: Bronze cord wrap (tsuka-ito)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Full tang, handmade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScabbard: Black wooden scabbard (included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: 20250327\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrice: $159.99\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Black Blade Katana (1060 carbon steel, bronze handle)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Black wooden scabbard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Cleaning cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Stand not included\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShips from US local warehouse — fast domestic delivery. 18+ only.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"samuraiswordman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44816214556822,"sku":"20250327","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/7800\/4630\/files\/16091122975778.jpg?v=1743024172","url":"https:\/\/samuraiswordman.com\/products\/black-blade-katana-1060-bronze-handle-black-scabbard-105cm","provider":"samuraiswordman","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
