Hand Forged T10 Steel Tanjiro Kagura Katana - Full Tang Battle Ready Demon Slayer Sword

Tanjiro Kagura Nichirin Sword – Hand-Forged T10 Steel Demon Slayer Katana

Inspired by Tanjiro Kamado’s Hinokami Kagura Nichirin sword from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, this handmade katana combines the distinctive appearance of the anime sword with the materials and construction of a real Japanese-style sword.

The blade is hand forged from T10 high-carbon steel and built with a full tang, double-mekugi construction. The tsuka features genuine rayskin samegawa beneath a traditional-style wrap, while the sword is paired with a lacquered hardwood saya and character-inspired fittings.

Available with either an unsharpened edge for collection, display and appropriate cosplay use or an optional professionally hand-sharpened edge, this Tanjiro sword is designed for collectors who want something more substantial than a lightweight decorative replica.

Inspired by Tanjiro Kamado

Tanjiro Kamado is the central swordsman of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Throughout his journey, his Nichirin swords become an important part of his identity, particularly as he develops his connection with Hinokami Kagura.

This version draws inspiration from that later Tanjiro sword design, including its distinctive blade appearance, flame-inspired guard and coordinated fittings.

Rather than reproducing the sword as a lightweight costume accessory, HanBon Forge constructs this model around a genuine T10 carbon-steel blade with a traditional-style removable tsuka assembly.

Hand-Forged T10 High-Carbon Steel Blade

The blade is hand forged from T10 high-carbon steel, a high-carbon tool steel commonly selected for functional Japanese-style swords because of its ability to achieve good hardness, strength and edge retention after proper heat treatment.

Each blade goes through shaping, heat treatment, polishing and fitting before final assembly. This gives the sword the weight and structural characteristics of a real steel katana rather than those of a molded or lightweight decorative replica.

The blade is approximately 28 inches (71 cm) long, providing proportions close to those of a standard katana.

Full Tang & Double Mekugi Construction

This Tanjiro katana uses a full tang construction, meaning the steel tang extends through the wooden tsuka instead of ending behind the tsuba.

The handle assembly is secured by two bamboo mekugi. This traditional-style construction also allows the tsuka to be removed when necessary for inspection or maintenance.

The full tang and double-mekugi configuration provides a significantly more substantial sword assembly than decorative replicas using short welded tangs or permanently molded handles.

Genuine Rayskin Samegawa

The wooden tsuka core is covered with genuine rayskin samegawa rather than synthetic imitation rayskin.

A traditional-style tsuka wrap is applied over the samegawa to provide a secure grip and give the handle the layered construction associated with Japanese-style swords.

Together with the bamboo mekugi and full tang blade, these materials give the handle assembly a more authentic structure and appearance.

Tanjiro-Inspired Tsuba & Fittings

One of the most recognizable elements of this sword is its flame-inspired tsuba, designed to reproduce the distinctive appearance associated with Tanjiro’s Hinokami Kagura sword.

The tsuba and accompanying fittings are individually fitted during assembly to ensure that the handle, guard and blade are properly aligned and securely assembled.

Lacquered Hardwood Saya

The sword is supplied with a lacquered hardwood saya designed to complement the overall appearance of the Tanjiro-inspired katana.

Unlike plastic scabbards commonly supplied with inexpensive costume swords, the wooden saya gives the sword a more substantial feel and helps protect the blade while it is stored or displayed.

Tanjiro Kagura Sword Specifications

* Because each sword is handmade and individually assembled, slight variations in dimensions, weight and finish may occur.

Choose Sharpened or Unsharpened

The blade can be configured according to how you intend to collect, display or use the sword.

A sharpened carbon-steel katana is a real cutting instrument. Handle it responsibly, store it securely and keep it away from children or unauthorized users.

Personalized Engraving

Personalized engraving can be added to make your Tanjiro katana more individual. Names, dates, English text, Japanese characters and selected graphic designs can be engraved depending on the requested layout.

For engraving requiring a specific size, orientation or position on the blade, we recommend providing a simple drawing or reference image with your order.
