Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from Damascus pattern steel, delivering the signature layered grain that catches light differently across every inch of its dark red surface. The folded multilayer construction adds structural character throughout the nagasa, while the precision-finished edge and deep crimson finish make it one of the more visually distinctive pieces in the Red Damascus Katana category. At 41 inches total length and 3 lbs, it carries a solid, well-distributed feel in hand.
The tsuka is built over a full-tang core, with brown cotton ito wrapped diagonally over blue ray-skin samegawa. The two-tone combination - warm brown crossing over vivid blue - creates a grip that reads as both traditional and bold. The wrapping pattern follows the classic tsuka style and provides a firm hold throughout the length of the handle.
The tsuba is cast in alloy with a silver and gold finish, featuring an ornate scroll relief design with layered floral motifs across its surface. The two-tone metal finish bridges the dark red nagasa and the ivory-toned saya, tying the color palette together without overcrowding the transition.
The saya is crafted from hardwood with a black lacquer finish on the upper and lower sections. A cream-colored center panel is hand-painted with a classical geisha figure rendered in fine ink linework - seated, fan in hand, traditional hair ornaments in place. This manga-influenced art panel is what sets this saya apart from standard lacquer finishes.

Overall length is 41 inches with a shipping weight of 4 lbs and package dimensions of 43 x 4 x 4 inches. The brown sageo cord completes the koshirae-style fittings. Each sword is individually handcrafted, so Damascus grain patterns and painted panel details will vary slightly from piece to piece. Sword stand not included.
