Product Details
This Damascus steel katana presents a striking crimson red blade forged from folded layers of steel, producing the distinctive wavy pattern Damascus is known for. The 28.3-inch nagasa is hardened to 60 HRC and finished with a hand-sharpened edge, while the deep red coloring gives the entire blade a rich, dramatic appearance that sets it apart from conventional steel finishes. A single Bo-Hi groove runs the length of the blade, reducing overall weight and creating an audible whistle when swung.

The 10.2-inch tsuka is built on a full tang core and wrapped in black cotton cord over red ray-skin samegawa. The ito wrapping follows a traditional diamond pattern, and the contrast between the black cord and red underlayer creates a visually cohesive pairing with the crimson blade. The fit is tight and textured, designed for confident handling.
At the junction of blade and handle sits a gold-tone alloy tsuba with an intricately cast koi fish relief. The fish motif is a nod to Japanese cultural symbolism representing good fortune and resilience. The tsuba's copper-toned rim frames the silver and gold interior elements, adding a touch of metallic warmth that ties into the sword's overall color palette.
The 30.3-inch saya is crafted from hardwood with a natural lacquer surface in a dark red tone that closely matches the blade. A black sageo cord is tied at the kurikata in a traditional knot, and a small gold-accented kojiri detail adds a finishing touch near the mouth of the scabbard. The fit between saya and blade is snug, keeping the sword securely sheathed.
Overall, this katana measures 40.5 inches in total length and weighs 2.65 lbs. The unified crimson and black color scheme - from blade to saya to tsuka - makes it a cohesive display piece for collectors drawn to Red Damascus Samurai Sword designs. Every fitting is assembled by hand, resulting in a collectible katana with strong visual presence and traditional Japanese construction.
