Manganese Steel Katana with Black Spider-Web Blade, Gold Sunflower Tsuba in Red Lacquer Saya
- Blade forged from high manganese steel with a striking black finish and hand-engraved spider-web pattern running the full length - a bold visual contrast against the polished kissaki tip.
- Full-tang construction throughout, with the tang running completely into the tsuka for solid balance across the 40.5-inch overall length and 3.17 lb weight.
- Gold alloy sunflower tsuba with open-work floral cutouts frames the transition between the black tsuka and blade - a detailed koshirae accent that catches light from every angle.
- Tsuka wrapped in black ito over red PU rayskin (samegawa), with red menuki accents visible through the diamond wrap pattern - black and red contrast carried consistently from hilt to sageo.
- Red hardwood saya finished in natural lacquer with embedded gold-fleck texture and a matching red sageo tied in a traditional knot - pairs visually with the tsuka's red-and-black theme.

Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from high manganese steel and finished in deep black, with a precision-engraved spider-web pattern etched across the flat from ricasso to tip. The engraving creates a geometric grid of fine white lines against the dark steel - a design choice that makes this piece immediately distinctive among Red Manganese Steel Katana offerings. The steel is treated to achieve consistent hardness and durability, and the hand-finished edge reflects the craftsmanship of seasoned swordsmiths working in a centuries-old tradition.
The tsuka is built full-tang, meaning the steel runs uninterrupted into the handle for structural integrity across the sword's 3.17 lb frame. Black ito is tightly wrapped over red PU samegawa in a traditional diamond pattern, with red menuki ornaments seated beneath the wrap at regular intervals - the black-and-red color story is deliberate and consistent from pommel to guard.
The gold alloy tsuba is cast in a sunflower motif with open-work petals radiating from a central ring. The warm gold tone contrasts directly against the black tsuka wrap and dark blade, making the fitting the visual anchor of the entire koshirae assembly.
The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in a high-gloss red lacquer embedded with gold-fleck texture throughout. A red sageo is tied at the kurikata in a traditional knot with black accent cords - the same red-and-black palette carried through every component. Collectors interested in this color combination will find it among the broader Red Rayskin Scabbard Katana range as well.
Overall length is 40.5 inches, blade width 1.26 inches, blade thickness 0.275 inches, and shipping weight 4.4 lb. Each piece is individually handcrafted, so minor variation in finish and fit between pieces is expected. Sword stand not included.
