Product Details
The blade of this katana is forged from damascus (pattern steel), producing a distinctive layered grain visible across the polished chrome surface. A visible hamon line traces the edge, a hallmark of the differential hardening process applied during forging. The full-tang construction runs the steel through the entire handle assembly, giving the piece structural integrity suited to a serious display piece in any Full Tang Damascus Katana collection. The blade measures 40.5 inches in overall length and 1.26 inches in width, with a spine thickness of 0.275 inches.
One of the most striking details on this katana is the hand-painted golden dragon engraving on the blade flat. Rendered against a black lacquered panel near the base of the blade, the dragon is depicted in fine detail with gold and red accent coloring - a bold visual contrast to the polished steel running the rest of the nagasa's length.
The tsuba is cast in an ornate scroll design with a black iron ground and gold-tone raised relief work, incorporating floral and foliate motifs across its surface. A brass habaki sits below the guard, adding a warm gold accent between the tsuba and the black ito of the handle. This black-gold pairing gives the fittings a rich, layered aesthetic that carries through the entire koshirae.
The tsuka is wrapped in black cotton ito over white samegawa in a traditional diamond lozenge pattern. The contrast between the black cord and white ray skin ground is sharp and well-defined, consistent with classic Japanese koshirae construction. A black sageo cord ties at the kurigata on the saya, completing the monochrome color story across handle and scabbard.
The saya is constructed from hardwood with a high-gloss black lacquer finish, delivering a clean, mirror-like surface. At 3.17 lb total weight and packaged at 43.3 x 3.93 x 3.14 inches, this Marble Damascus Steel Katana-adjacent piece ships ready for immediate display. The dragon-themed saya and blade engravings work together to create a unified thematic presentation across every component.
