SHOP CASE KNIVESChannel the essence of tradition and precision with the SZCO Grasshopper Samurai Sword—an elegant fusion of functional design and striking visual appeal. Crafted with attention to authentic detail, this full-length katana serves as a worthy centerpiece for collectors and a reliable blade for martial artists or cosplay enthusiasts. Its bold profile, fine materials, and thematic accents give it a commanding presence whether displayed or wielded.
The Grasshopper Samurai Sword stretches an impressive 41 inches in overall length, with a 28-inch blade made of resilient 1045 carbon steel. Known for its durability and balance between hardness and flexibility, 1045 carbon steel is ideal for both decorative and light functional use. The blade features a mirror-polished finish that enhances its clean lines and adds a sleek aesthetic while preserving a traditional silhouette. Whether you're performing kata or showcasing it in a collection, the blade’s shine and balance make a lasting impression.
The 11-inch tsuka, or handle, is wrapped in traditional cord for enhanced grip and comfort. This textured wrapping allows for better control during use while providing a classic look that sword enthusiasts expect from a katana. The tsuba (handguard) and accompanying fittings are constructed from brass, delivering a refined contrast to the dark cord wrap and steel blade. These detailed elements not only enhance visual interest but also contribute to the sword's overall structural integrity.
What truly sets this sword apart is its scabbard. The black saya is finished with elegant gold accents and a distinctive grasshopper motif—a subtle but powerful nod to the sword’s name. The artwork on the scabbard is more than decorative; it ties the piece together thematically, making it ideal for display purposes and adding character to your arsenal.
Whether you’re expanding a collection, practicing forms, or elevating your decor with Japanese flair, the SZCO Grasshopper Samurai Sword offers a remarkable combination of craftsmanship, style, and affordability. It’s a piece designed to be admired, held, and remembered.
