Product Details
The blade of this katana is forged from folded damascus steel, producing visible layered grain patterns across the full 29-inch nagasa. The folding process creates a distinctive purple-toned finish that shifts under light, with a clean hamon line separating the hardened edge from the body. Hardened to 58 HRC, the steel holds a refined edge while maintaining flexibility through the spine.
A 10.25-inch tsuka provides generous two-handed grip space, wrapped in black cotton cord over genuine white samegawa. The traditional tsukamaki binding creates the diamond pattern visible along the handle, with the rayskin texture adding both grip and visual contrast beneath the wrapping. This Damascus Katana follows time-tested construction methods for its full tang assembly.
The gold-tone alloy tsuba is the visual centerpiece of the fittings, featuring a deeply sculpted dragon in high relief. The dragon coils across the circular guard with detailed scales, claws, and flowing whiskers, all framed by a polished gold rim. Copper-toned fuchi and kashira cap each end of the handle with engraved scrollwork that complements the tsuba theme.
The 29.5-inch hardwood saya stands out with its black lacquer base covered in fine red speckle patterning, creating a galaxy-like texture across the entire scabbard surface. A black braided sageo is tied at the kurikata with a gold-accented fitting, and the koiguchi provides a snug fit for the blade. The red speckle finish pairs naturally with the purple tones of the blade for a cohesive dark color palette.
At 41 inches overall and 4.4 lbs, this Damascus Steel Sword carries the proportions and weight of a traditional katana. The combination of folded steel craftsmanship, dragon-motif fittings, and lacquered saya makes it a detailed collector piece suited for stand display or themed collections.
