Known for his military experience, discipline, and strategic judgement, Naoshige became one of the most important figures of his era. This katana bears his name as a tribute to his resilience, composure, and martial spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe blade is hand-forged from T10 high-carbon steel and traditionally clay tempered to produce a genuine Choji Hamon through differential hardening. Finished with Sashikomi polish, the blade presents a refined, traditional appearance while allowing the natural hamon to remain clearly visible. Its full-tang construction and authentic kissaki geometry provide both structural reliability and a more traditional Japanese sword profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe koshirae features a black iron tsuba with an openwork wheel motif, paired with darkened cupronickel Sakura Ishime fuchi-kashira. The tsuka is tightly wrapped in black cotton ito over genuine white samegawa, creating a strong monochrome contrast while providing a secure and comfortable grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Brown Ishime saya adds warmth and texture to the mounting, while the black sageo brings the overall composition together. The restrained combination of brown, black, and white gives Naoshige a mature, disciplined appearance that reflects the character of its namesake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwords holder or stand sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSword Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"579\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" width=\"242\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003eHand-forged Maru (mono-steel), Polished Edge, Genuine rayskin, Authentic Kissaki Structure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003eApprox. 101 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eBlade Length (Nagasa)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003eApprox. 71 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eHandle Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003eApprox. 25 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eBlade Width at Habaki\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003e3.2 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003e7 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eT10 High Carbon \u003c\/span\u003eSteel (Performance Grade)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eHeat Treatment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClay-Tempered\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eBlade Shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003eCurved, single-edged blade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\"\u003eHi (Groove)  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo groove\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eSharpness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003eFully sharpened\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eTang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003eFull Tang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eTsuka (Handle)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003eHardwood, genuine rayskin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eSaya (Scabbard)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003eHardwood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eFittings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003eIron \u0026amp;
