Product Details
This red katana features a 28.3-inch blade forged from 1045 carbon steel, heat-treated to 58 HRC. The polished chrome-finish surface carries a visible hamon line that runs the length of the edge, creating a striking contrast between the hardened cutting area and the softer spine. The full tang construction extends through the entire handle, secured with mekugi pins for structural integrity.
The 10.2-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped in PU white samegawa, then bound with red cotton ito in a traditional crisscross pattern. The white diamond shapes of the samegawa peek through the red wrap, adding visual texture and ensuring a firm hold. Every wrap is pulled tight by hand for a consistent, even pattern.
At the junction of blade and handle sits a black alloy tsuba in an open lattice petal design, allowing light to pass through the interlocking loops. A gold-tone habaki collar sits just beneath the guard, creating a warm metallic accent that bridges the dark tsuba and the bright steel. This combination of black and gold tones adds refined contrast to the sword's profile.
The 30.3-inch saya is crafted from hardwood and coated in red piano lacquer, producing a deep, mirror-smooth gloss that matches the red ito and sageo cord. The red sageo is tied in a decorative knot near the mouth of the scabbard, secured with small gold-tone fittings. This cohesive red-on-red color scheme makes it a standout among Red Scabbard Japanese Samurai Swords.
Measuring 40.5 inches in overall length with a blade width of 1.2 inches and a weight of 2.85 lbs, this katana balances visual impact with solid construction. The unified red and black palette with gold accents places it well within the broader Colored Katana Sword collection for collectors seeking a bold, coordinated display piece.
