Product Details

This katana features a full tang 1060 carbon steel blade finished in a bold red coating that catches light with a warm copper tone across its 28.3-inch length. Heat treated to 58 HRC, the steel delivers reliable hardness and edge retention. The sharpened edge runs clean along the curved profile, and the full tang construction anchors the blade firmly through the handle for balanced weight distribution at 2.65 lbs overall. If you're drawn to Red 1060 Carbon Steel Japanese Samurai Swords, this piece is a standout example of the style.

The 10.2-inch tsuka is wrapped in black cotton ito over red PU samegawa, producing the traditional diamond pattern with flashes of red visible between each wrap. The layered texture provides a firm, comfortable grip while adding visual contrast to the dark handle assembly.

A black alloy tsuba sits between blade and handle, featuring an intricate flower theme with raised relief detailing. Gold-tone accents on the habaki and seppa ring add subtle warmth, framing the tsuba with a refined metallic border that ties the fittings together.

The 30.3-inch hardwood saya is coated in a deep red piano lacquer with a glittering sparkle finish that shifts from dark crimson near the koiguchi to a rich, luminous red along the body. A black sageo cord wraps neatly at the kurikata, matching the handle wrap and grounding the overall color palette. Among Red Katana designs, this sparkle lacquer finish stands apart from standard glossy sheaths.

At 40.5 inches in total length, this katana balances a dramatic red-and-black color scheme with traditional structural details. The combination of 1060 carbon steel, alloy fittings, and piano-lacquered hardwood saya makes it a striking collectible piece suited for display or as a centerpiece in any Japanese sword collection.

  • Forged from 1060 carbon steel, this full tang red-coated blade measures 28.3 inches with a hardness of 58 HRC for solid edge retention and durability.
  • Black cord (ito) wraps tightly over red PU samegawa on a 10.2-inch tsuka, creating a striking black-and-red diamond pattern for a secure, comfortable grip.
  • Black alloy tsuba with a detailed flower motif adds elegant hand protection and complements the dark red color scheme of the entire piece.
  • Hardwood saya finished in deep red sparkle piano lacquer with black sageo cord - total visual impact that doubles as protective storage for the 30.3-inch scabbard.
  • Overall length of 40.5 inches at 2.65 lbs, sharpened edge, full tang construction - a collectible piece that balances visual drama with structural integrity.

Its a wonderfully crafted sword however. The blade is rather orange and not quite red. That's the only reason I give it four. If the blade looked like it does in the picture on the site. Easy five stars. Expert craftsman ship. Still will more than likely purchase another sword from this site.
