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.

With an overall length of 40.55 inches and a weight of 2.65 lbs, this katana balances presence with manageability. Every fitting - from habaki to seppa - is crafted in alloy with a gold tone, maintaining visual consistency from tip to pommel. The complete package delivers a serpent-themed collectible sword built on genuine Damascus steel craftsmanship.

The sword is beautiful. I bought two swords on Amazon and they both broke within a week. My son (who is into Katana Swords) was devastated. This sword is built so much better and it’s very sleek. He’s only 6 so he’s not allowed to touch it without Mommy or Daddy right next to him. I’m teaching him to respect the sword and to understand it’s a very powerful weapon. We love it. Thanks for making such a great product.

Shipping was a little confusing.... it only took one werk exactly. It was in order processing and "on the way" to be shipped with delivery on Tuesday. It stayed in that mode and arrived Monday... Totally worth it though. I am very happy with my purchase! Strong Steel, beautifu color and great craftsmanship. It is sharp as described;-)

Great quality blade and the design just tops it off. The fact it’s full tang and battle ready makes it even better for me, I’ve always wanted a blade made of Damascus steel
