Product Details
The blade is forged from folded Damascus steel, producing visible layered patterning along the full 28.3-inch nagasa. Hand-finished to 60 HRC hardness with a chrome-tone surface, the steel reveals the characteristic wavy grain lines that result from repeated folding. Clay tempering creates a distinct hamon line along the edge, combining a hardened cutting surface with a more resilient spine.
The 10.2-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core and wrapped in black cotton cord using the traditional diamond-pattern technique over genuine white rayskin. The contrast between the white samegawa nodes and the tight black ito creates a clean, high-contrast grip that references classical katana construction while offering firm hand placement.
At the junction of blade and handle sits a gold-tone alloy tsuba carved in an openwork dragon design. The dragon motif is rendered in dimensional relief, with coiled body and swept horns filling the oval guard. This piece draws from a tradition found across Pattern Steel Japanese Samurai Swords, where the tsuba serves as both functional guard and artistic statement.
The saya is carved from hardwood and finished in black piano lacquer, producing a deep, glossy surface that mirrors light cleanly. A black braided sageo is tied through a gold-accented kurikata, and the koiguchi fits the blade snugly. The saya tip (kojiri) is finished flush, and the overall black-and-gold palette gives the scabbard a refined, understated look that complements the gold dragon tsuba.
At 40.5 inches overall and 2.55 lbs, this katana balances authentic proportions with collectible-grade finishing. From the folded Damascus grain to the lacquered saya, every component follows traditional katana architecture. For collectors exploring similar forging methods, the Clay Tempered Japanese Sword collection offers additional options with differential hardening techniques.
