Manganese Steel Red Blade Katana with Dragon Iron Tsuba in Black PU Leather Saya and Strap

This katana features a 28.74-inch full tang manganese steel blade finished in a deep copper-red tone. Heat-treated to 58 HRC, the steel offers solid hardness and reliable edge retention. The red finish runs uniformly across the entire blade surface, creating a bold visual statement that contrasts sharply with the all-black fittings. For collectors drawn to distinctive blade treatments, this piece stands out among Red Blade Manganese Steel Katana options.

The 10.23-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped in black PU samegawa for texture, then finished with a tight black cord ito wrap. The wrapping pattern provides both visual uniformity and a reliable grip surface. A copper-tone seppa ring sits between the tsuka and tsuba, adding a warm accent that echoes the blade's red hue.

The iron tsuba showcases a detailed dragon relief design rendered in dark metal. The dragon motif wraps across both faces of the guard, with layered scales and flowing forms that reflect traditional Japanese iconography. The dark iron finish blends seamlessly with the black handle and saya.

The 30.7-inch saya is constructed from hardwood and covered in a textured black PU leather with a fine pebbled grain. Two silver-tone metal rings and a black PU leather carry strap are attached, allowing shoulder carry. The hardware is clean and minimal, complementing the overall monochromatic theme found across many Black Japanese Samurai Swords.

With a total shipping weight of 4 lb, this katana balances substantial feel with manageable weight. The all-black mounting accented by the copper-red blade and copper-tone habaki creates a cohesive color story suited for display. Sword stand is not included.
