Red Blade Manganese Steel Katana with Black Lacquer Saya - Full Tang Vine-Pattern Replica

The blade of this katana is forged from high manganese steel and finished in a deep dark red tone that runs from habaki to tip. A jagged white hamon line sweeps dramatically along the entire length of the blade, creating the visual effect of a raging-fire temper line. The edge is hand-finished by experienced swordsmiths, and the full tang construction ensures the blade extends completely through the handle for solid balance. Collectors interested in bold, color-treated blades will find this piece well-represented in the Blood Red Blade Katana category.

The tsuka is wrapped in red ito cord over black PU rayskin (samegawa), with the traditional diamond-lozenge pattern formed by the crossing wrap. Gold-toned menuki ornaments are set into the wrap at the handle's midsection, adding a warm metallic accent against the dark ground. The grip is firm and proportioned at a length consistent with standard katana koshirae mounting.

The tsuba is a plain round fitting in a black-and-gold colorway, providing a clean visual break between blade and handle without distracting from either. Its minimal design keeps the focus on the color drama of the blade and the wrap.

The saya is constructed from hardwood finished in black natural lacquer, decorated with a hand-applied red vine web pattern that covers the full length of the scabbard. A red sageo cord is tied at the kurigata with a decorative knot, completing the two-tone black-and-red koshirae aesthetic.

Overall length is 40.5 in, blade width 1.26 in, and the sword weighs 3.17 lb. Each piece is individually handcrafted, so minor variation in finish and dimensions is inherent to the handmade process. Sword stand or holder is not included.
