Product Details
The blade is forged from spring steel and hand-finished to a chrome-bright polish, measuring 28.74 inches from tip to habaki. Heat treatment brings the steel to 58 HRC - firm enough to hold its geometry during display handling, with the natural resilience spring steel is known for. A single-edged, hand-sharpened profile follows traditional katana geometry, tapering cleanly toward a defined kissaki.
The full-tang construction extends through the entire 10.23-inch tsuka, which is wrapped over a genuine rayskin (samegawa) base. Red cotton ito is applied in traditional tsuka-maki style, producing the characteristic diamond pattern visible in the grip photographs. The wrap sits flush and even along the full handle length, with menuki fittings seated beneath the cord for added grip texture.
The silver-tone alloy tsuba carries a dragon theme rendered in detailed relief - fluid scales and outstretched claws fill the circular guard face, making it one of the most visually distinctive elements of this piece. Paired with the red ito and the deep red sageo, the guard creates a strong focal contrast against the polished blade. For collectors drawn to Red Samurai Sword aesthetics, this tsuba treatment is a standout detail.
The hardwood saya is lacquered to a piano-gloss black finish and engraved along its length with a continuous gold vine motif - an ornamental detail that photographs exceptionally well and adds classical character to the overall koshirae. The red sageo cord is tied at the kurikata in a traditional knot, reinforcing the red-black-gold color palette carried through every fitting.
Overall length is 40.94 inches with a 1.26-inch blade width and 3.2 lb assembled weight. The koshirae-style fitting set - dragon tsuba, real rayskin samegawa, red ito, and piano-lacquer saya - positions this piece as a considered collector's display item. Those building out a themed collection may also explore the broader 1095 Katana Sword range for complementary blade options.
