Crimson Katana - Manganese Steel Red Blade with Jagged Hamon in Glossy Red Saya and Black Ito Wrap

The blade is the defining feature of this crimson katana - 28.74 inches of manganese steel hardened to 58 HRC, finished in a deep red tone that runs from habaki to kissaki. A bold, jagged hamon line traces the edge in bright silver contrast against the red surface, creating an aggressive visual rhythm that catches light with every angle. The tip narrows to a refined point with the hamon pattern continuing cleanly to the very end.

The 10.23-inch tsuka is wrapped in black cotton ito using a traditional diamond pattern over red samegawa, giving the handle a striking two-tone look. Real rayskin sits beneath the wrap, adding texture and grip security. The full tang construction runs through the entire handle, secured in the traditional manner for structural integrity.

A black alloy tsuba sits at the blade junction, featuring an open snake-themed design with flowing cutouts. A gold-tone brass habaki collar separates the tsuba from the blade, adding a warm metallic accent that bridges the dark guard and the crimson steel. This combination of black, gold, and red gives the fittings area a layered, intentional aesthetic.

The 30.7-inch saya is crafted from hardwood and finished in a glossy piano lacquer that produces a deep, mirror-like red surface. A black sageo cord wraps neatly around the kurikata, and the koiguchi opening transitions smoothly for a clean draw. The high-gloss finish on the saya complements the Colored Blade Katana style, matching the red blade tone almost perfectly.

At 40.94 inches overall and 4.4 lbs, this is a full-size, full tang katana with real presence on a display stand or wall mount. The cohesive red-and-black color scheme, jagged hamon detail, and snake tsuba make it a standout piece among Red Manganese Steel Japanese Samurai Swords. Sword stand is not included.
