Product Details

The blade is forged from damascus pattern steel and heat-treated with an oil quench process that produces a genuine hamon line along the edge. The hand-polished finish brings out the layered pattern in the steel, giving the blade a chrome-bright appearance with subtle surface depth. This is a full tang construction - the steel runs continuously from tip through the full length of the handle for structural integrity throughout.

The tsuka is built over white samegawa (genuine ray skin) and wrapped in black ito cord using a traditional diamond-gap pattern. The contrast between the textured white underlayer and the dark wrap creates the signature visual rhythm seen on quality Black Damascus Katana builds. Menuki fittings are set beneath the wrap at the standard grip positions.

The brown-gold tsuba features an ornate scroll design in openwork metalwork - a circular guard with detailed cutouts and raised relief. The two-tone brown and gold finish bridges the dark tsuka wrap and the polished blade, giving the koshirae set a cohesive, layered look without relying on a single accent color.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in a high-gloss black lacquer that reflects the blade when sheathed. The koiguchi is fitted with real horn for a precise draw, and the black sageo cord is tied in a traditional decorative knot at the kurikata. The overall saya finish is consistent with the koshirae's monochrome-with-gold theme.

Overall length is 41 inches with a total weight of 3 lbs. The sword ships in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box at a shipping weight of 4 lbs. No display stand is included. Whether added to an existing collection or displayed as a standalone piece, this katana delivers traditional koshirae detail with the visual character of patterned steel.

  • Damascus pattern steel blade with a visible hamon line, hand-finished to a polished chrome finish - full tang construction runs the full length of the tsuka for solid balance.
