Features

A dramatic blackened blade with a polished white cutting edge creates a high-contrast silhouette worthy of the name Guhongying.
The Black Mamba Snakeskin Saya pairs with tan cord wrapping for a look that feels stealthy, elegant, and predatory.
1045 carbon steel construction offers dependable durability for display, collection, and light training appreciation.
The alloy serpent-themed tsuba and copper habaki reinforce the sword's dark, animal-inspired visual language.
A full tang structure with one-piece tang construction supports a balanced feel in hand.
Glossy lacquer over the wooden saya gives the textured scabbard a refined finish under studio light.

Note: As a hand-forged katana, slight variations in finish, dimensions, and pattern placement may occur. Each piece is unique. Display props shown in the photography are not included.
