Product Details

This full tang katana features a folded damascus steel blade measuring 29 inches, hand-forged to achieve the distinctive layered grain pattern that damascus is known for. The steel is hardened to 58 HRC, producing a refined edge with the resilience and flexibility that folded construction provides. The chrome-tone finish on the nagasa highlights the flowing damascus lines across the entire length of the blade.

The 10.25-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped in black polyurethane leather samegawa, then bound tightly with black cord in a traditional diamond-pattern wrap. Gold-tone metal menuki sit beneath the cord, adding subtle contrast against the all-black handle. The construction runs full tang through the handle, secured for solid integrity.

Topping the handle is a gold-tone alloy tsuba with a bamboo-theme design, its smooth oval form creating a clean transition between tsuka and blade. The gold finish on the tsuba matches the ornamental accents found throughout the fittings, tying the entire piece together in a cohesive black-and-gold color scheme.

The 29.5-inch hardwood saya is the visual centerpiece of this katana. Finished in matte black, it showcases elaborate hand-painted gold artwork - a dragon coiling through swirling clouds on the upper section, with dense arabesque scroll patterns near the koiguchi. A black sageo cord is tied at the kurikata, and the kojiri cap closes the saya with a clean metallic accent. This piece belongs among our Damascus Steel Sword collection for those drawn to layered steel craftsmanship.

At 41 inches overall and 4.4 lbs, this katana carries real presence on a wall mount or display stand. The combination of folded damascus steel, full tang architecture, and richly decorated gold-on-black fittings makes it a standout addition to any Full Tang Katana collection.

Just like so many other reviewers on this site, I figured this had to be too good to be true for the price vs the quality. I'm glad to join their ranks! Very well packaged for shipping, The quality and craftsmanship are surprisingly excellent! It arrived in less than a week, heavy, sharp!, and well oiled. Couldn't be a happier customer.

Was not as sharp as I thought it would be.... I was not easy to remove the heads of my many enemies until I had a local cuttery put a finer edge on it...The Crazy 88s better watch out... lol. Actually it's a nice item but I did had it sharpened...
