Red Manganese Steel Katana with Raging Fire Hamon, Red-Black Tsuka & Lacquered Red Hardwood Saya

The blade on this katana is forged from manganese steel and given a full-tang construction, with the steel finished in a deep crimson tone that intensifies toward the spine. A raging fire hamon traces the edge in an irregular, wave-like pattern - each crest and valley hand-finished to catch light differently depending on the viewing angle. The result is a blade profile that reads as both dramatic and technically deliberate, consistent across its 41-inch overall length. Collectors drawn to Red Wave Theme Blade Japanese Samurai Swords will recognize the visual language immediately.

The tsuka is built over a hardwood core and wrapped in PU black samegawa as the base layer, providing grip texture that mimics traditional ray skin. Red cotton ito is then applied in a standard tsukamaki pattern, crossing in clean diamond windows that reveal the samegawa beneath. Gold menuki sit beneath the ito at two points along the grip. The red-and-black combination is tight and consistent, with no visible gaps or loose passes in the wrap.

Fittings are assembled in a koshirae style with clear attention to tonal layering. The tsuba is black iron, round in profile, with a chrysanthemum theme worked into its surface and pierced hollows that open sight lines through the guard. A gold habaki seats the blade at the collar, and silver fuchi frame the base of the tsuka - three distinct metal tones that build visual complexity without competing.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished with a premium natural lacquer in the same crimson red carried through the blade and handle. Wire-drawing techniques applied over the lacquer surface add a subtle linear texture and a sense of aged depth to what would otherwise be a flat finish. The sageo - braided in red and black - is knotted at the koiguchi, completing the two-tone koshirae from guard to tip.
