Product Details

The blade on this katana replica is forged from manganese steel and finished in a deep dark red - a bold, unmistakable choice that sets it apart from conventional polished steel pieces. A hand-finished hamon line traces the edge in a wave pattern, contrasting sharply against the crimson surface and giving the blade real visual depth. At 41 inches overall and 3 lbs, the proportions feel true to traditional katana form. If you're building out a Red Blade Katana collection, this piece delivers one of the more distinctive blade finishes available in this category.

The handle is built on a full tang foundation, with the steel extending completely through the tsuka for structural integrity. Black ito cord is wrapped over white samegawa ray skin in a tight diamond pattern, producing crisp, evenly spaced nodes along the full length of the grip. The black and white contrast is clean and intentional - a classic koshirae pairing that holds its look over time.

The tsuba is one of the standout components here. Cast in a gold tone, it features an ornate scroll design with open cutwork across an octagonal frame - detailed relief work that catches light from multiple angles. Fuchi and kashira fittings continue the gold accent, tying the handle assembly together against the black ito backdrop.

The saya is crafted from hardwood with a high-gloss black lacquer finish - the kind of deep, even sheen that reads immediately as quality on a display piece. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata in the traditional manner. The contrast between the glossy black saya and the dark red blade, visible at the koiguchi, is one of the more satisfying visual details of this Gold And White Katana Sword adjacent piece.

Packaged at 43 x 4 x 4 inches and shipping at 4 lbs, this full tang manganese steel katana replica is suited for display or as a collector's centerpiece. Note: a sword stand is not included.

  • Dark red manganese steel blade features a hand-finished hamon line running the full length, creating a striking wave-like contrast against the deep crimson surface - a defining visual detail of this replica.

  • Gold-tone ornate scroll tsuba is cast with open cutwork detailing on an octagonal frame, adding a bold contrast between the dark handle and the red blade - one of the most eye-catching elements of this piece.
  • Black hardwood lacquer saya delivers a smooth, high-gloss finish with a deep shine, paired with a matching black sageo cord knotted at the kurigata for traditional presentation.
