Product Details

This Damascus steel katana features a 28.74-inch folded steel blade with a visible layered wave pattern running the full length of the edge. The steel is hardened to 58 HRC and hand-finished to a refined edge, while the chrome-toned surface highlights the intricate Damascus grain. Each fold in the steel creates a unique watermark texture that sets this piece apart from standard single-steel designs. Browse more options in our Damascus Steel Sword collection.

The 10.23-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core with full tang construction. Black PU samegawa is layered beneath a black PU leather cord wrap in a traditional diamond pattern, with white rayskin nodes visible between the crossings. The combination provides a firm, textured grip surface while maintaining a clean, dark aesthetic.

At the center of the sword sits a copper tsuba with a sculpted dragon motif. The dragon figure wraps across the guard in high relief, finished with gold and silver gilding that creates a vivid contrast against the oxidized black copper surface. This ornamental guard anchors the visual identity of the piece and connects it to the Dragon Damascus Katana series.

The 30.7-inch saya is constructed from hardwood and wrapped entirely in black PU leather, producing a fine-grained matte texture. Metal kurikata fittings with a ring for sageo attachment are mounted along the body, adding functional detail to the scabbard's streamlined profile.

The katana measures 40.94 inches overall and weighs 4.4 lbs, built with proportions suited for wall display or stand mounting. The consistent black and chrome palette, accented by the gilded tsuba, gives the sword a cohesive, refined presence as a collectible piece. Sword stand or holder is not included.

I bought this as a 50th birthday present. Something I could pass on to my son. Packaging and quality are fantastic, the real thing is better than the pictures online. Would highly recommend TK. I will be buying another one shortly, so many beautiful pieces. I have it displayed in my office.
