Product Details

The blade on this katana is forged from Damascus steel, showing layered patterning along the flat and a visible hamon line running the length of the edge. The hand-polished chrome finish brings out the contrast between the folded steel layers, giving the surface a distinctive depth that sets it apart from single-steel blades. Full tang construction connects blade to handle without interruption. Explore our full range of Damascus Katana Swords for more folded-steel options.

The tsuka is wrapped in black ito cord in a tight diamond pattern over white samegawa ray-skin. The binding is even and firm across the full grip length, with the classic koshirae-style handle construction adding both visual structure and a secure hold. Red accent cord at the habaki collar adds a small contrast detail where blade meets handle.

The tsuba is cast in bronze with an aged finish, depicting a coiled dragon among plum blossoms in raised relief sculpting. A copper-toned seppa and lattice-cut fuchi frame the base, creating a layered guard assembly with warm metallic contrast. The detail work on the dragon figure is precise, with scales and claws clearly defined.

The saya is crafted from lacquered hardwood and covered in a gold brocade fabric with a repeating geometric square pattern. Black sageo cord is tied at the kurigata, and gold-toned metal koiguchi and kojiri end fittings complete the scabbard. The two-tone combination of matte black ito against the gold brocade saya creates a strong visual contrast across the full length of the piece.

Total length is 41 inches with a shipping weight of 6 lbs. This katana is built in full koshirae style and suited for collector display. Note: sword stand or holder is not included. Browse our Replica Katana collection for additional display-ready options.
