Description and specifications
Fubuki Katana is one of the most visually striking katana in our collection. Its distinctive feature is a unique hand-finished saya, coated in a dramatic black lacquer base with wild white paint splashes — evoking a snowstorm frozen in time. This is paired with a T10 blade with a deeply bold "fully burnt" hamon and an engraved dragon on the blade, creating a sword that is as striking on the edge as it is to the eye.

DESCRIPTION
The Fubuki 吹雪 Katana takes its name from the Japanese word for blizzard — and a single glance at the saya tells you exactly why. The scabbard is finished in a deep matte black lacquer, then splashed by hand with explosive bursts of white paint that cascade along its whole length like snow driven by a winter storm. No two scabbards are identical. Finished with a matching black and white braided sageo cord, the saya is a complete work of art in itself.
The blade is forged in high-carbon T10 steel and shows a complete "fully burnt" hamon — the boldest hardening pattern available, where the cloudy hamon zone covers almost the whole surface of the blade. This creates a captivating silver turbulence along the blade that mirrors the chaos of the saya's splashed design. A hand-engraved dragon motif runs along the blade near the habaki, adding a final layer of craftsmanship to an already extraordinary piece.
The tsuka (handle) is wrapped in black ito over genuine samegawa, with white diamond-shaped hishigami motifs — keeping the striking black-and-white look from the tip to the pommel. The circular iron tsuba and silver-coloured fuchi ornaments complete the handle fittings with quiet authority.
The Fubuki 吹雪 Katana is not a sword that fades into the background. It is a collector's statement: raw, dramatic, and built to the same exacting standards as every blade in this range. The Blade of the Snowstorm.
Buying a sword in the UK
Sold only to adults aged 18 and over. Curved swords with a blade of 50 cm or more are hand-forged using traditional methods, as required by the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Offensive Weapons) Order as amended in 2008.
Carrying a bladed article in a public place without good reason is an offence. Transport your sword wrapped, and only for a legitimate purpose (dojo, re-enactment, collection). Rules may differ in Scotland.
Care
- Wipe the blade after every handling with a soft cloth; never touch it with bare fingers.
- Apply a thin film of oil every few weeks to prevent rust.
- Store it horizontally in its saya, edge up, away from damp.
- Use only on suitable practice targets (rolled tatami mats, bamboo); never strike hard objects.
