Damascus Steel Katana Dark Red Blade with Dragon Tsuba - Black Lacquer Saya with Multicolor Speckle

The blade of this katana is forged from folded damascus steel, finished in a deep dark red tone that catches the light along its length. A dragon motif is engraved directly onto the blade surface near the base, adding visual depth that complements the layered steel pattern running through the metal.

The tsuka is wrapped in black cotton ito in a traditional diamond pattern over genuine white samegawa rayskin. The contrast between the ivory rayskin diamonds and the black cord gives the handle a clean, classic koshirae appearance that remains true to historical Japanese sword construction.

The silver tsuba is cast with a dragon-and-floral relief design - the dragon winds through blossoms in fine sculptural detail, framed by a circular guard with subtle outer edge detailing. A small engraved fuchi complements the tsuba's silver tone at the handle collar. Browse the full range of Dragon Theme Scabbard Japanese Samurai Swords for more options in this style.

The hardwood saya is finished in natural black lacquer with an eye-catching multicolor speckle pattern - small flecks of red, orange, and yellow are distributed across the full length of the scabbard. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata, completing the traditional mounting. The saya's high-gloss lacquer finish protects the wood core and gives the piece a polished, finished appearance from tip to koiguchi.
