Manganese Steel Katana with Dark Red Blade in Natural Wood Saya - Brown Tsuka, Samurai Tsuba

The blade of this katana is forged from manganese steel and finished in a deep dark red tone that runs the full length of the 41-inch piece. A hand-finished hamon traces the edge in a jagged, wave-like pattern - the contrast between the polished silver edge and the crimson blade body is the defining visual signature of this sword.

The tsuka is wrapped in brown ito cord over a PU black samegawa base, giving the handle a firm, textured grip feel while maintaining the warm brown and black color palette carried throughout the koshirae. The wrapping follows a traditional diamond-pattern layout, with the menuki accents visible beneath the cord at regular intervals.

A black alloy tsuba sits between the blade and handle, cast with a samurai-theme relief design on its face. Gold-tone fittings - the habaki and fuchi - frame the tsuba on both sides, adding a metallic warmth that ties the dark tsuba to the brown handle wrap without visual conflict.

The saya is shaped from natural hardwood left in its unfinished, pale wood-grain state - a deliberate contrast to the dark red blade it houses. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata in a traditional style, adding functional detail to the overall presentation.
