This Crane Katana takes a different visual direction through the green patterned saya, so it does not read like the white-saya crane versions. The copper crane fittings add the close-up accent, while the 1045 carbon steel blade, clay-tempered process, and bo-hi / fuller keep the material and blade layers clear.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What stands out first on this Crane Katana?
The green patterned saya stands out first. It gives the sword a different display tone from white or black-saya Crane models.
Is this 1045 carbon steel?
Yes. The steel grade is 1045 carbon steel, with clay tempering listed as the process layer.
Does it have a bo-hi or fuller?
Yes. The blade is listed with a bo-hi / fuller.
What makes the fittings different?
The copper crane fitting detail is the close-up accent, especially against the green patterned saya.
What makes the scabbard (saya) on this katana special?
The saya on this katana combines deep forest green piano lacquer with a metallic particle bubble finish β fine black and gold-toned flecks suspended throughout the lacquer layer. Green is among the rarest base colors used in katana saya lacquerwork, most production swords using black or red. The choice here creates a naturalistic quality that complements the sword's design: green is the color of bamboo, pine, and the living landscape that forms the backdrop to so much Japanese art. The metallic particle finish adds textural complexity without disrupting the natural feeling of the base color.
How should I care for the carbon steel blade?
Keep the blade dry and apply a light coat of suitable blade oil before storage.
