Product Details

This katana features a 28.3-inch Damascus steel blade with visible layered folding patterns along the surface. The steel is hardened to 60 HRC and carries a full tang design that extends through the entire handle, creating a unified structure from tip to pommel. The hand-finished edge and chrome-toned polish give the blade a clean, reflective appearance that highlights the flowing Damascus grain. Among our Damascus Steel Sword collection, this piece stands out for its refined proportions and classic aesthetic.

The tsuka measures 10.2 inches and is wrapped in black ito cord over a white PU samegawa base. The contrast between the white underlayer and the dark cord creates a traditional diamond pattern that provides both visual texture and a secure grip. The wrapping is tight and consistent, contributing to comfortable handling at the sword's 2.45 lb total weight.

At the junction of blade and handle sits a gold-toned round alloy tsuba with an open crescent design. The smooth circular form and warm brass color pair well with the matching gold habaki and seppa fittings, creating a cohesive transition zone between the dark handle and the polished steel.

The saya is crafted from hardwood with a matte black finish that runs 30.3 inches long. Its surface is smooth and understated, allowing the gold fittings at the koiguchi to serve as the focal accent. A black sageo cord is tied at the kurikata in a traditional knot, completing the monochrome palette of the scabbard. This combination fits well within our Black Damascus Katana lineup.

At 40.5 inches overall, this full tang Damascus steel katana balances traditional Japanese sword aesthetics with durable modern materials. The black-and-gold color scheme, layered steel patterning, and minimalist tsuba design make it a distinctive collectible piece suited for display or personal collection.

  • Folded Damascus steel blade at 28.3 inches with layered patterning, hand-finished edge, and 60 HRC hardness for a refined collector-grade profile.
  • Full tang construction runs through the entire 10.2-inch handle, secured with black ito cord wrap over white PU samegawa for a firm, balanced grip.
  • Gold-toned round alloy tsuba with open crescent cutouts adds a clean, minimalist guard design that complements the black and gold color scheme.
  • Black hardwood saya with a matte finish and matching black sageo cord provides a sleek, understated presentation at 30.3 inches long.
  • Overall length of 40.5 inches with a total weight of 2.45 lbs, proportioned for display presence and comfortable handling.
