Damascus Steel Katana with Silver Dragon Saya - Black Tsuka & Geometric Tsuba

The blade on this katana is forged from Damascus steel, revealing distinct folded-layer patterning along the flat and a visible hamon line tracing the edge. The chrome-finished surface catches light sharply, making the undulating steel grain visible from tip to habaki. At 41 inches overall and 3 lbs, the proportions follow classical katana geometry with a pronounced sori curve suited for traditional koshirae presentation.

The full-tang tsuka is wrapped in black synthetic ray-skin (samegawa) beneath a tightly wound black cord ito in a classic diamond pattern. Gold menuki accents are set beneath the wrap at the grip's midpoint, adding a subtle metallic detail visible through the ito gaps. The handle construction keeps the balance point consistent and the grip secure under extended display handling.

The iron tsuba features a geometric cutout design - square negative-space windows arranged in a circular pattern against a matte black ground. This angular, architectural motif contrasts deliberately with the organic Damascus grain of the blade. A copper habaki collar seats the blade cleanly into the tsuba assembly, its warm tone bridging the black ironwork and chrome steel.

The saya is shaped from natural hardwood and finished in silver lacquer, with a dragon motif embossed in relief across the full length of the scabbard. The texture is dense and sculptural, giving the scabbard visual weight that matches the blade's patterned surface. Black sageo cord wraps the kurikata fitting, which features a gold-tone accent ring, completing the black-and-silver color story across the full Full Tang Damascus Katana package.

Packaged at 43 x 4 x 4 inches and shipping at 4 lbs, this piece arrives ready for wall display or horizontal stand presentation. The koshirae fittings are fully assembled. For additional Damascus steel options across different mounting styles, browse the Hand Forged Damascus Katana collection.
