Product Details
This full tang katana features a 28.3-inch Damascus steel blade forged from folded layers of steel, producing a distinctive wavy grain pattern visible along the entire nagasa. Hardened to 60 HRC, the blade holds a refined edge and displays a chrome-tone finish that catches light across its curved surface. The layered forging process creates both visual depth and structural integrity throughout the steel.
The 10.2-inch tsuka is built over a genuine white rayskin samegawa, then tightly wrapped in black cotton cord using a traditional diamond pattern. The contrast between the bright white rayskin panels and the dark ito wrapping gives the handle its striking appearance while providing a textured, non-slip grip.
At the junction of blade and handle sits an alloy tsuba finished in black with a whirlwind motif. A gold-tone brass habaki and seppa ring frame the guard, adding a warm accent that breaks the otherwise monochrome palette. This detail is clearly visible in the close-up and ties the fittings together with understated elegance.
The 30.3-inch hardwood saya is finished in glossy black piano lacquer, producing a mirror-like surface that complements the blade's polished steel. A black sageo is knotted through a gold-accented kurikata near the saya mouth, matching the brass tones found on the tsuba assembly. The koiguchi fits snugly to keep the blade secure during display.

At 40.5 inches overall and 2.65 lbs, this katana balances well in hand and presents cleanly on a wall mount or tabletop stand. The all-black color scheme - from cord to saya to sageo - is unified by gold hardware accents, making it a focused addition to any Damascus Steel Katana collection. Every component is hand-assembled, from the pinned full tang construction to the fitted saya, reflecting traditional Japanese sword-making methods applied to a modern collectible piece.
