Product Details

The blade on this dragon katana is forged from high manganese steel and hand-finished to a bright chrome polish. The geometry tapers cleanly from a thick spine to a refined edge, with a visible hamon line tracing the length of the blade. Full-tang construction ensures the steel runs continuously from tip through handle, pinned in place beneath the tsuka wrapping for lasting structural integrity. If you are exploring the broader range of options, the High Manganese Steel katana collection offers a solid point of comparison.

The tsuka is wrapped in white cotton ito over black ray-skin samegawa, following a traditional diamond pattern that provides both grip texture and visual contrast. Gold-tone fuchi and habaki fittings frame the transition between handle and blade, adding warmth against the white wrapping.

The tsuba is cast in silver-tone iron and shaped into an intricately sculpted dragon design - scales, claws, and coiling body rendered in high relief. The cutout negative space around the dragon gives the guard a dynamic, open silhouette that catches light at different angles.

The black hardwood saya is finished in a high-gloss lacquer coat and decorated with a striking gold dragon motif painted along its length. A beige braided sageo cord ties at the kurikata, providing a deliberate contrast against the black lacquer surface.
