Product Details
This katana features a 28.3-inch blade forged from 1045 carbon steel, hardened to 58 HRC for reliable toughness and edge retention. The full tang construction runs the entire length of the handle, secured with bamboo mekugi pins. The chrome-tone finish on the blade surface highlights the clean geometry of the edge, with a well-defined shinogi line running from habaki to kissaki.
The 13-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped in white real rayskin for texture and grip stability. Over the samegawa, red and black cotton ito is tightly wound in alternating diamond patterns, creating a bold visual rhythm that stands out among Red Katana designs. The kashira and fuchi feature black fittings that frame the handle cleanly.
At the center of the sword sits a gold-tone alloy tsuba carved in an openwork dragon theme. The dragon's body winds through the guard with detailed scales and claws, surrounded by a raised gold rim that catches light from every angle. This motif adds cultural weight and serves as a natural focal point.
The saya is crafted from hardwood and coated in a deep black piano lacquer finish that produces a mirror-like sheen. Subtle texture variations in the lacquer surface are visible up close. A red and black braided sageo is tied near the kurikata, and a bright red accent knot near the koiguchi completes the color coordination between handle and scabbard.
Measuring 44 inches overall and weighing 2.65 lbs, this katana balances its substantial blade length with a proportionally long handle suited for two-handed display positioning. The red, black, and gold color palette makes it a striking addition to any Colored Katana collection or wall-mounted display arrangement.
