- Forged from folded Damascus steel, the dark red blade reveals flowing layered patterns with visible grain - a signature of multi-layer forge welding and hand-finishing techniques.
- The deep blue saya is crafted from hardwood finished in high-gloss piano lacquer, delivering a smooth, mirror-like surface with rich color depth visible along its full 41-inch length.
- A gold-and-silver phoenix tsuba anchors the fittings - the openwork design features silver wing motifs framing a gold lattice body, adding classical koshirae elegance to the overall build.
- Full-tang construction with black cotton ito wrap over white PU samegawa (rayskin), providing a secure, traditional diamond-pattern grip with good hand feel during display handling.
- Black sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata in a traditional style, complementing the black tsuka wrap and creating a cohesive dark-toned handle-and-saya color pairing against the blue lacquer.

Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from folded Damascus steel, finished to a dark red tone that lets the layered grain patterns read clearly along the entire length. The flowing orange-and-blue wave patterns visible near the tip are a direct result of the multi-layer forge process - no two blades come out identical. At 41 inches overall and 3 pounds, the proportions sit within standard tachi-length katana territory. For collectors interested in Damascus construction, our Blue Damascus Katana collection covers additional options in this material and finish family.
The tsuka is wrapped in black cotton ito over white PU samegawa in a traditional diamond (hishi-gumi) pattern. The alternating black-and-white visual rhythm runs the full length of the handle, with the samegawa nodes visible between each wrap segment. The overall grip feel is firm and structured, consistent with full-tang construction where the blade steel runs through the handle core.
The tsuba is one of the more distinctive fittings on this piece. Cast in a gold-and-silver two-tone finish, it carries a phoenix theme - silver wing elements frame the outer ring while the center section uses an openwork gold lattice. The combination of both metal tones and the organic wing shapes give it visual weight without being oversized. Fuchi and kashira fittings continue the gold-silver pairing.
The saya is built from hardwood and finished in a deep blue piano lacquer. The high-gloss coat produces a smooth, reflective surface that contrasts cleanly against the dark red blade and black cord fittings. A black sageo is knotted at the kurigata in a traditional wrap style, adding functional detail to the overall koshirae presentation. The full Blue Pattern Steel Katana collection includes related pieces if this color pairing is of interest.
Overall dimensions are 41 inches in length with a shipping weight of 4 pounds packaged in a 43 x 4 x 4-inch box. The build follows a complete koshirae configuration - blade, tsuka, tsuba, and saya all finished and fitted. Note that a sword stand is not included.
