Product Details

The blade is the defining feature of this katana - forged from manganese steel and finished in a deep crimson red with a bold raging fire hamon running the full length of the nagasa. The dramatic white edge line rises and falls in sharp, irregular peaks against the red body, giving the blade an unmistakable visual identity. At 41 inches overall and 3 lbs, the sword carries real presence without feeling unwieldy. Explore more designs in our Red Katana Sword collection.

The tsuka is wrapped in black cord using a traditional diamond pattern, providing a firm, textured grip. The wrap sits over the full tang, which runs the complete length of the handle for solid, uninterrupted construction. The black kashira caps the end cleanly, keeping the handle proportions tight and purposeful.

A bronze-tone tsuba anchored at the guard features a cast samurai warrior motif in relief - the aged, textured finish gives the metal a weathered quality that reinforces the traditional aesthetic. The seppa on either side of the tsuba are finished in matching gold tone, completing the transition between blade and handle with visual cohesion.

The saya is crafted from black lacquered hardwood, smooth and deep in finish with minimal surface variation. A standout detail is the kurikata fitting, which displays a gold-tone samurai mon crest against the black lacquer - subtle but sharp. The blue-red sageo cord is threaded through the kurikata and left to hang, adding a final layer of traditional koshirae detail.
