Product Details
The blade on this damascus steel katana is forged from folded multilayer steel, producing the characteristic layered pattern across its surface. A visible hamon line runs along the edge, and the polished chrome finish highlights the steel's natural contrast. A hand-engraved dragon motif adds a distinct decorative element to the flat of the blade, making it a standout piece among Natural-wood Damascus Steel Katana offerings.
The tsuka is wrapped in black cotton ito over a white ray-skin (samegawa) base, following the traditional hineri-maki pattern visible in the images. Gold menuki accents are positioned beneath the wrap, adding subtle warmth against the black cord. The handle runs full tang, keeping the blade and grip solidly connected through the entire length.
The tsuba is a circular iron piece finished in black with a white tomoe inlay - a bold geometric design that creates strong contrast against both blade and handle. The fuchi and kashira fittings carry a matching gold tone, tying the metalwork together across the assembly.
The saya (scabbard) is crafted from hardwood and finished in a gold-toned crackle lacquer, giving it a textured, aged visual quality that stands apart from plain painted sheaths. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata in a traditional style, as seen clearly in the detail image. The overall color pairing of gold saya, black ito, and chrome blade makes this a visually cohesive piece.
At 41 inches overall and 4 lb, this katana is built to full koshirae specifications. Each piece is individually handmade by experienced swordsmiths, so minor variations in finish and grain pattern are inherent to the process. Sword stand not included.
