Product Details
This golden Damascus steel katana features a hand-forged folded blade that stretches 28.3 inches with layered grain visible across its surface. The folding process creates the distinctive Damascus pattern, and the golden finish gives the steel a warm, burnished tone that catches light along the entire edge. Hardened to 60 HRC, the full tang blade runs through the entire handle for structural integrity. Explore more options in our Gold Damascus Katana collection.
The tsuka measures 10.23 inches and is built over a black samegawa underlayer wrapped with gold leather ito in a tight diamond pattern. The contrast between the dark ray skin and the gold cord creates a refined visual rhythm, and the length provides comfortable two-handed grip for display handling.
At the junction of blade and handle sits a gold alloy tsuba sculpted with a coiling snake motif. The serpent wraps around the guard in three-dimensional relief, with detailed scales and a dynamic pose that gives the piece its signature character. Gold fuchi and kashira cap both ends of the handle, unifying the metalwork.
The hardwood saya is wrapped in python-pattern leather, extending the snake theme from tsuba to scabbard in a cohesive design language. Black and tan tones in the leather wrap contrast naturally against the gold sageo cord and gold-tone kurikata fitting. The matte surface finish keeps the look grounded rather than flashy.
