Zoro acquires it during his time on the island of the dead, after passing the test of the ghost of the samurai Ryuma. Recognizable by its black blade (kokuto) and the saya with its signature golden skull motif, the Shusui is one of the most iconic weapons in Eiichiro Oda’s manga. The Katana Shusui is a faithful replica of this legendary blade.
The carbon steel 1060 blade (58–60 HRC, nagasa approximately 27.5 in.) features a dark patina that reproduces the kokuto appearance of the original Shusui: deep black, minimal reflection, as though the blade has absorbed the darkness of decades of historical flashbacks in the manga.
The fittings follow the One Piece design: the tsuka wrapped in black ito over samegawa, a dark-alloy tsuba with a stylized floral motif, a black lacquered saya with golden skull designs (the Shusui’s signature pattern), and black sageo. Burnished brass habaki.
An iconic piece for One Piece fans — especially those who followed the Wano arc and appreciated the story of Ryuma and Zoro — an ideal complement for Zoro Wano-style cosplay, and a display piece for pirate-themed collector spaces. A katana that carries within it the history of an entire nation of samurai.

Time-honored craft. Masterful gesture. A one-of-a-kind, hand-forged piece built to last.
The blade takes shape beneath the hammer. Each layer of steel is folded and re-welded under heat to create a core that is both strong and flexible.
The steel is brought to high temperature, then quenched rapidly: this fast cooling hardens the edge and reveals the hamon, the wavy line that runs along the blade.
The smith hand-polishes the blade with natural stones of increasing grit, revealing its luster, its edge, and the soul of the steel.
Each blade is crafted by master artisans according to traditional forging techniques.
