Damascus Steel Katana with Marble Saya, Real Hamon, Gold Chrysanthemum Tsuba - Full Tang

- Black sageo cord and tasseled fittings complete the koshirae-style mounting, tying together the high-contrast black handle and pale marble sheath into a cohesive display piece.

Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from folded Damascus steel, producing the layered grain pattern visible along the flat and a genuine hamon temper line tracing the edge. The heat treatment process creates a hardness differential between edge and spine, resulting in the real hamon that distinguishes this piece from surface-etched imitations. For collectors interested in Pattern Steel Katana options, this Damascus construction offers one of the most visually dynamic grain expressions available.
The tsuka is wrapped in traditional black cotton cord over a foundation of genuine white samegawa ray-skin. The diamond-pattern ito wrap is firm and even, anchored at both ends and accented with a black tassel hanging from the fuchi. The full tang extends completely through the handle, providing structural integrity across the entire assembly.
The tsuba is cast in a chrysanthemum floral motif with an aged gold-tone finish. Petals radiate outward in layered relief, and the surface carries a darkened patina in the recesses that emphasizes the sculptural detail. The seppa and habaki are finished in matching gold-tone metal, maintaining visual continuity between blade and handle.
The saya is crafted from hardwood and finished with a hand-painted marble lacquer surface - a cream and off-white base broken by natural brown veining that runs the full length of the scabbard. No two pieces are identical given the hand-applied nature of the finish. Black sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata, completing the koshirae-style mounting. This marble saya treatment makes it a standout among Damascus Straight Katana designs.
Overall length is 41 inches and the piece weighs 3 lbs. Packaged in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box at a shipping weight of 4 lbs. The sword stand or holder is not included.
