Damascus Steel Katana with Purple Piano Lacquer Saya - Teal Cord, Gold Tsuba, 41 in.

The blade is forged from Damascus steel, delivering a layered pattern that becomes visible across the flat and along the edge as light moves across the surface. A distinct hamon line traces the length of the nagasa, and the chrome-polished finish brings out the contrast between the folded layers - giving this katana a visual depth that goes well beyond a standard monosteel grind.

The tsuka is wrapped in teal ito over black PU samegawa, forming clean diamond-shaped windows across the handle. The binding is tight and even throughout, and the dark samegawa texture beneath provides grip without bulk. A pair of gold-tone menuki accent pieces are visible through the wrap near the center of the handle.

The tsuba is cast in a gold-tone finish with an ornate scroll motif and an open oval cutout - a design that reads clearly from a distance and adds warmth against the cool chrome of the blade. A rectangular gold habaki sits flush between the tsuba and the blade, completing the fuchi area with a clean, finished look. Explore more designs in our Purple Damascus Steel Katana collection.

The saya is hardwood finished in deep purple piano lacquer - the glossy, high-build surface reflects light cleanly and gives the scabbard a lacquered depth that plain painted sayas do not achieve. A teal sageo is knotted at the koiguchi, tying the saya color into the handle wrap for a cohesive two-tone color story. Browse the full range in our Purple Saya Japanese Samurai Swords collection.

Overall length is 41 inches with a total weight of 3 lbs and a shipping weight of 4 lbs in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch package. The full-tang construction and balanced proportions make this katana a strong centerpiece for wall display or a serious addition to a collector's rotation - sword stand not included.
