Damascus Steel Katana with Black-Red PU Leather Saya - Full Tang Folded Blade, Gold Sageo

The blade is the centerpiece of this katana - forged from folded damascus steel using a multilayer technique that produces the signature rippling grain pattern across the chrome-finished surface. A visible hamon line runs along the edge, reflecting the hand-finishing work applied by experienced swordsmiths. The full tang extends through the entire handle, ensuring the blade and tsuka form a single unified structure rather than a pinned or partial assembly.

The tsuka pairs red ray-skin (samegawa) as the base wrap with black cord ito wound in the traditional diamond pattern over it. Small skull-shaped menuki are set beneath the ito at intervals, visible through the gaps in the binding. The result is a bold black-and-red handle with fine detail that rewards close inspection.

The square black alloy tsuba carries a green biohazard symbol - a deliberate pop-culture reference rendered in clean enamel against the matte black ground. A gold-toned habaki collar separates the tsuba from the blade, providing a clean transition between handle fittings and the forged steel. This katana is part of our Hand Forged Damascus Katana Sword collection.

The saya is constructed from hardwood and finished in black PU leather. A wide red leather panel wraps the mid-section of the scabbard, laced in place with gold sageo cord in a cross-stitch pattern that creates a vivid color contrast against the black body. D-ring hardware is mounted at two points along the saya, and a black leather carrying strap connects them for over-shoulder or side carry.
