Product Details

Hattori Hanzo broke his blood oath to never make another sword. He broke it because the Bride asked him to, and because she was going to use it to kill Bill. The Hanzo blade in Kill Bill is not just a prop - it is the entire premise of the revenge. Without the sword, there is no story. In Tarantino's universe, a Hattori Hanzo katana occupies a legendary place in cinema history, and the red blade version makes that presence tangible with a color as dramatic as the film itself.

This is the folded damascus steel (melaleuca steel) variant in TrueKatana's Kill Bill lineup. The red blade is forged from layered steel through a traditional folding process that creates visible pattern lines throughout the metal. Where the standard Kill Bill replica uses 1045 carbon steel with a painted finish, this version achieves its red coloring through the steel treatment process itself. The full-tang blade measures 41 inches at 3.0 lbs, with white PU samegawa and black cord handle wrapping, black hardwood scabbard under premium lacquer, and a round black alloy tsuba.

Robert has purchased twice from TrueKatana and puts it directly: the quality matches much higher-priced katanas at a fraction of the cost. Christine calls herself "a fanatic about the Kill Bill movies" and describes receiving the sword as "truly a Hanzo moment." Michael says the red blade is "so amazing, my friends are jealous" and calls it a great purchase. Robin describes it as "even prettier in person" with fast delivery. Scott confirms it looks great, is well made, and offers great quality for the price.

For Kill Bill collectors choosing between this and the standard black-blade Hanzo, the difference is material: folded damascus steel with a red finish versus 1045 carbon steel in black. The red blade is the more visually dramatic of the two and the higher-grade steel, but both carry the same Hanzo design DNA across the handle, tsuba, and scabbard.

Includes black lacquer scabbard. Stand not included. Ships from the US warehouse with free shipping and 30-day money-back guarantee.

  • Folded Damascus (melaleuca) steel red blade - the color achieved through the steel treatment process itself, not paint or surface coating.
  • Full-tang construction, 41 inches overall, 3.0 lbs - white PU samegawa with black cord ito, standard katana proportions throughout.
  • Round black alloy tsuba - the minimalist Hattori Hanzo guard design consistent across the Kill Bill replica lineup.
  • Premium black lacquer hardwood scabbard - the clean lacquer finish creates maximum visual contrast when the red blade is drawn.
  • Higher-grade folded Damascus steel construction makes this the more visually distinctive Kill Bill option compared to the standard 1045 version.

I'm very pleased with my first katana purchase from here! Very beautiful workmanship. The Red blade is so amazing, my friends are jealous and agree its a great purchase. Shipping was a lil mysterious at first then once it was on its way to me was very accurate with the eta. Of course who isn't antsy when it comes to shipping.

A pleasure doing business with you!

Thank you

This is actually a very well made katana for the money. Quality materials and craftsmanship. This is a replica of Bill's sword from the Kill Bill films, not Beatrix's sword. The red blade is definitely a nice touch, but not quite as compelling as I hoped it would be. There is no engraving of the Hanzo"demon" on the blade, which is a signature element of Bill's sword. That would have been a nice touch. The Habaki is slightly malformed, but is properly secured. Excellent quality blade.

Fantastic Quality: The only problem is there seems to be some varnish/oil on the blade, but I was able to clean it off with a towel—excellent color and detail.
