Damascus Pattern Steel Katana with Plum Blossom Gold Tsuba - Black-Red Handle, Floral Lacquer Saya

The blade is forged from folded damascus pattern steel, producing a layered grain that runs visibly from the spine to the edge. A clearly defined hamon traces the length of the chrome-finish nagasa, catching light differently along the temper line and giving the blade a dynamic, living quality rarely seen in entry-level pieces. Full tang construction carries through the entire handle assembly for solid balance across the 41-inch overall length. Explore more options in our Pattern Steel Katana collection.

The tsuka is built in the traditional koshirae style, with black cord wrapped tightly over red PU samegawa in a diamond pattern. The alternating black-red geometry is clean and intentional - the red samegawa diamonds visible between each cord pass create a color rhythm that draws the eye from guard to pommel without distraction.

The gold-tone tsuba is the visual centerpiece of this piece. Circular in form, it features low-relief carving of plum blossom branches across its face, with an antiqued patina that darkens the recessed areas and makes the petal details read clearly. A small oval cartouche sits at the center of the habaki side. The aged gold finish pairs naturally with the chrome blade and black handle wrap.

The saya is crafted from hardwood finished in deep black piano lacquer, giving it a mirror-like gloss that reflects the blade cleanly when sheathed. A hand-painted rectangular panel at the center of the saya depicts pink lotus and magnolia blossoms against a white background with soft blue ink washes - a deliberate contrast to the otherwise all-black exterior. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurikata in a standard carry wrap. Browse the full Damascus Steel Samurai Sword lineup for related styles.
