Damascus Steel Katana with Black Gold-Flecked Saya and Bamboo Copper Tsuba - Full Tang Folded Blade

This katana features a full tang folded Damascus steel blade measuring 28.34 inches, forged to reveal the distinctive layered pattern that defines this steel type. The folding process creates visible wavy lines along the surface, and the hand-finished edge is hardened to 60 HRC. The blade width sits at 1.26 inches, delivering a well-proportioned profile with a gentle curve.

The tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped in PU white samegawa for texture and grip stability. Black cord is tightly wound over the samegawa in a traditional diamond pattern, providing both a secure hold and a clean, dark aesthetic that pairs well with the overall color scheme.

Topping the handle is a round gold-tone copper alloy tsuba decorated with a bamboo leaf motif. The bamboo theme is rendered in raised relief, and the habaki collar beneath it transitions from the gold accents into the chrome-toned blade surface. This small detail ties the fittings together visually.

The saya is crafted from hardwood and coated in a piano lacquer finish. Up close, the black lacquer reveals scattered gold and green flecks embedded in the surface, giving it a subtle sparkle under light. A braided black and white sageo cord secures the saya, echoing the contrast found in the handle wrapping. The saya measures 29.52 inches in length. Among Black Damascus Katana options, this gold-flecked saya stands out for its understated detail.

Overall, this piece measures 40.15 inches in length and weighs 3.08 lbs. With its folded Damascus blade, bamboo-themed copper tsuba, and lacquered gold-flecked saya, it makes a strong addition to any Damascus Steel Sword collection. Every fitting is assembled by hand, reflecting traditional Japanese sword construction methods adapted for the collector market.
