Manganese Steel Tachi Sword with Red Blade, Dragon Tsuba in Dark Red Hardwood Saya

The blade of this tachi is forged from high manganese steel and finished in a deep crimson red, with a hand-applied hamon that traces a jagged, flame-like pattern along the entire length of the edge. The polished white edge contrasts sharply against the red body, producing a visual effect often called the "raging fire" style - a defining feature confirmed across both the blade and the precision-finished tip visible in the detail shots. At 41 inches overall and 3 lbs, this sword carries the extended proportions typical of a tachi or odachi form.

The tsuka is built over a full tang core, wrapped first in red PU samegawa and then bound with black cord ito in a classic overlapping diamond pattern. Red accent underlays peek through each gap in the wrap, reinforcing the black-and-red color pairing that runs throughout the entire koshirae. The grip is firm and even, with the wrap tension consistent from kashira to habaki collar.

A black iron tsuba anchors the transition between blade and handle, cast with a raised dragon design across its face. The habaki is finished in gold tone, offering a deliberate contrast against the black fittings above and below. The overall hardware palette - black iron, gold habaki, black kashira - gives this sword a cohesive, high-contrast presentation. If you enjoy exploring tsuba artistry, our Full Tang Odachi Sword collection features similarly detailed guard work across a range of styles.

The dark red saya is shaped from hardwood and coated in a premium natural lacquer finish with a fine speckled texture visible in the surface. A braided red-and-white sageo cord is threaded through the kurigata and tied in a layered knot, adding an additional decorative element to the scabbard presentation. The koiguchi and kojiri fittings are finished in black to match the overall hardware scheme. For more options in this color family, browse our Red Odachi collection.

This tachi ships at 4 lbs in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch package. The sword stand is not included. Designed as a collectible and display piece for enthusiasts drawn to bold, dramatic Japanese sword aesthetics with traditional koshirae construction.
