Product Details

The 27.5-inch blade is forged from folded damascus steel, ground and hand-polished to a bright chrome finish that reveals the layered grain pattern along the flat. A visible hamon line runs the length of the edge, and the steel is hardened to 60 HRC - a level that balances edge retention with structural integrity. The blade is sharpened from the factory and mounted full-tang into the handle assembly. Explore more options in our Damascus Katana collection.

The tsuka runs 10.2 inches and is wrapped in black cotton cord over a white real rayskin (samegawa) foundation. The diamond-pattern wrap is tight and even, and the handle is secured with two bamboo mekugi pegs driven through the tang for a firm, serviceable fit. The overall koshirae-style assembly keeps proportions close to classical Japanese mountings.

The tsuba is cast from real copper and finished in a two-tone gold-black treatment. The design features a dragon rendered in high relief against a textured background - the gold highlights on the dragon's body contrast sharply with the darkened field around it, giving the guard a three-dimensional quality. A matching copper habaki and bronze-tone fuchi collar complete the fittings at the blade collar and handle base.

The hardwood saya is lacquered in a graduated gold-to-black finish. The lower third carries an engraved seigaiha (ocean wave) pattern that adds texture without disrupting the clean lines of the scabbard. A sakura mon medallion is inlaid at mid-body, and a small copper ring near the koiguchi provides an anchor point for the black sageo cord. At 31.3 inches, the saya houses the blade with a secure, audible click on full insertion. Browse the full Full Tang Damascus Steel Sword range for related builds.

Total assembled length is 41.5 inches and the mounted sword weighs 3 lbs. The koshirae-style fittings - copper tsuba, real rayskin handle, lacquered hardwood saya - are assembled as a coordinated set rather than mixed components, giving the piece a coherent visual identity from pommel to tip.
