Tanjiro Kamado’s sword from Demon Slayer is faithfully recreated here by Hanbon Forge as a fully functional katana forged from durable T10 high-carbon steel. Unlike many purely decorative replicas, this version is crafted with a battle-ready construction that makes it suitable for collectors, martial artists, and enthusiasts who want a working sword with the aesthetics of the anime. Weighing 2 lbs 5 oz and balancing at 5 5/8″ from the guard, it handles much like a well-made historical katana with a responsive feel in the cut.
The 28 5/8″ blade is forged from T10 steel and clay tempered to create a hardened edge and a resilient spine—this traditional differential hardening gives it both cutting power and shock-absorbing flexibility. The blade is finished in a deep black coloration to replicate Tanjiro’s distinctive Nichirin Blade. A full-length katana tang runs into a wooden tsuka carved to match the tang’s profile and the 9 7/8″ grip is wrapped in faux leather ito cord to ensure a secure hold during cutting practice. Beneath the ito grip folds are panels of genuine red-dyed rayskin. The tsuba and all hilt fittings are crafted from solid metal with a lacquered finish, giving the sword substantial durability and an upgraded feel over the plastic furniture typically found on budget-tier anime replicas. Included with the sword is a katana gift box and a brocade sword bag.
Tanjiro Kamado, wielder of the Black Nichirin Blade, stands as one of the most resilient members of the Demon Slayer Corps. Guided by compassion and strengthened by tragedy, he channels Water Breathing techniques with calm precision before maturing into the powerful and scorching Hinokami Kagura style. His blade symbolizes his unwavering resolve—dark in color, yet driven by a burning spirit. This functional steel recreation captures the straightforward elegance of his weapon while offering the handling and build quality expected of a real cutting sword.
