Product Details

The blade is the centerpiece of this katana - 28.3 inches of folded damascus steel heat-treated to 60 HRC, hand-polished to a bright chrome finish with a flowing hamon line tracing the edge. The layered construction produces a subtle grain pattern across the flat that shifts in different lighting, giving the blade a visual depth that sets it apart from single-steel pieces. This is a sharpened, full-tang build designed to be handled, not just displayed. Browse the full Damascus Steel Samurai Sword collection for more folded-blade options across different fittings and lengths.

The tsuka is 10.2 inches long, wrapped in black cord over a white ito base. The contrast stitching adds texture and grip while keeping the overall color scheme dark and cohesive. The full-tang construction runs the entire length from tip to pommel, keeping the 2.65 lb weight centered and the feel solid in hand.

A plain black alloy tsuba sits at the transition point between blade and handle. The minimalist round profile avoids decorative excess and lets the blade and saya carry the visual identity of the sword. The dark metal finish matches the black fittings throughout.

The saya is matte black leather, 30.3 inches, with visible white stitching along the spine and an attached black sageo cord. The bottom panel shows structured shaping and the carry strap with adjustable metal buckle hardware makes transport practical. The leather surface has a clean, uniform matte finish without lacquer gloss. If the all-black aesthetic appeals to you, the Black Damascus Katana collection covers additional variations in this style.

Overall length is 40.5 inches, blade width 1.26 inches, weight 2.65 lbs. The sword ships in packaging measuring 43.4 x 3.9 x 3.14 inches at a shipping weight of 3.4 lbs. The koshirae-style fittings - leather saya, cord-wrapped tsuka, and alloy tsuba - are assembled as a matched set, presenting a consistent black-and-chrome look from tip to saya end.

  • Matte black leather saya measures 30.3 inches and features stitched detailing with black sageo cord and an adjustable carry strap with metal buckle hardware.
  • Hand-forged by experienced sword-smiths using layered steel techniques; the folded damascus construction produces the distinctive flowing grain pattern visible along the blade flat.
