Tomioka Giyuu, the Water Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, is one of the most enigmatic figures in Demon Slayer. His Nichirin blade appears throughout the story with a classic profile, a pentagon-shaped tsuba, and fittings coordinated with his two-toned haori. The Katana Giyuu Black V2 is a dark variant of the replica, crafted for collectors who prefer the character’s monochromatic palette as rendered in the manga’s most dramatic nighttime scenes.
The carbon steel 1060 blade (58–60 HRC, nagasa approximately 27.5 in.) is finished with a deep black patina that recalls the color of Giyuu’s Nichirin in ufotable’s most striking anime compositions. Natural sori curvature, well-defined kissaki.
The fittings reproduce Giyuu’s design in a dark key: the tsuka wrapped in black ito over dark samegawa, a patinated iron tsuba in pentagon form (the character’s defining marker), a matte-black lacquered saya with dark-red accents at the koiguchi cord fittings, and black sageo. Burnished iron habaki.
An essential collection piece for fans of Kimetsu no Yaiba who appreciate Giyuu Tomioka, a complement for Water Hashira cosplay in its nighttime or stealth variation, and a fitting gift for those who rank Giyuu above Tanjiro. A replica that captures the solitude of the silent Hashira.

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.
