The iconic Nichirin sword of Tanjiro from Demon Slayer is faithfully recreated by Hanbon Forge as a fully functional, full-tang katana forged from high-carbon T10 steel. Far from a simple cosplay prop or wall-hanger, this version is built to a battle-ready standard and is ideal for dedicated collectors, martial artists, and fans who want a working sword that truly captures the spirit of Tanjiro’s Nichirin sword. Weighing in at 2 lbs 7 oz with a point of balance at 5 3/8″ from the guard, the sword delivers a balanced and stable feel in hand, combining readiness for serious use with the graceful handling expected of a refined katana.
The 28 1/2″ blade is professionally tempered and hardened to ensure a durable, sharp edge while the sturdy spine maintains resilience and shock absorption — giving both cutting potential and structural integrity. The blade is finished in blackened and bright steel alike to evoke the characteristic Nichirin style, honoring Tanjiro’s disciplined determination and purposeful precision. A full-length katana tang anchors the blade firmly into a 10″ wooden tsuka and is wrapped in tightly bound knotted leather to afford a secure and comfortable grip for precise handling and confident strikes. Beneath the leather are panels of genuine red dyed rayskin The tsuba and all hilt fittings are crafted from solid metal ensuring its durability is far superior to the lightweight or plastic components used in lesser replicas.
Included with the sword is a matte lacquered wooden scabbard meticulously finished to match the sword’s aesthetic and protect the blade when not in use. A decorative presentation box and brocade sword bag are provided for safe storage and display — rendering the sword as display or gift-worthy as it is functional. A manufacturer’s certificate accompanies the package attesting to the sword’s craftsmanship and authenticity.
This faithful Nichirin sword offers a perfect blend of anime-inspired design and real-world katana craftsmanship. Whether intended for cutting practice, collection, or display, it stands as a formidable tribute to Tanjiro Kamado’s resilience, honor, and unwavering resolve.

I never been one to go back and leave reviews but they did such a great job with this one, the Katana it’s self looks amazing and well crafted. If your a fan of Demon Slayer, they did a lot of justice to this iconic sword from it. Amazing job! This will look great in anyone’s collection. Plus the container and bag that came with it are both amazing as an added bonus!
