This Damascus steel katana features a 28.74-inch folded steel blade with a hardness rating of 60 HRC.

The 11.02-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped in genuine white samegawa - traditional ray skin that provides both texture and grip. Over the samegawa, black cotton ito cord is tightly wound in a crisscross pattern, leaving diamond-shaped windows that expose the white ray skin beneath. The contrast between the black cord and white samegawa creates a striking visual rhythm along the handle.

At the junction of blade and handle sits a real copper tsuba finished in a warm bronze tone. The guard features a dragon motif rendered in relief on one face, surrounded by scrolling clouds and geometric lattice cutouts along the upper edge. A copper habaki collar sits snugly at the blade's base, matching the tsuba's warm metallic palette.

The saya is carved from natural rosewood, left in its organic brown finish to showcase the wood's grain and texture. At 29.92 inches, it houses the blade securely. A black-brown sageo cord is tied through the kurikata, and a small gold-toned pin accents the mouth of the scabbard. The overall effect is understated and earthy, complementing the bronze fittings without competing for attention.

Measuring 40.94 inches in total length with a blade width of 1.26 inches, this katana balances traditional Japanese sword proportions with the distinctive character of Damascus steel. The combination of natural rosewood, copper fittings, and folded steel places it among refined Damascus Steel Sword collectibles built for display and appreciation.
