Product Details
The blade of this katana is forged from manganese steel and finished in a rich crimson red, giving it a distinctive look that stands apart from traditional polished silver. The steel runs full tang through the handle, with a clean profile and a precision-finished edge. No hamon is present on this blade - the visual character comes entirely from the bold red coloration and the smooth, even geometry of the grind. For collectors seeking a standout piece, the Red Manganese Steel Japanese Samurai Swords collection offers additional options in this distinctive finish.;
The tsuka is wrapped in black cotton cord over red PU samegawa (ray skin alternative), with red accent diamonds visible through the wrap and gold-tone menuki set into the sides. The grip measures approximately 10mm cord width for a firm, controlled feel in hand. A silver-tone pommel cap finishes the butt end cleanly.
The tsuba is one of the most eye-catching elements of this build - a round white alloy guard with a sculpted dragon motif, rendered in fine detail against its bright field. The contrast between the white tsuba and the black handle wrap creates a strong visual break that frames the koshirae beautifully.
The saya is built from hardwood and finished with a dark red lacquer base coat, then decorated with scattered gold flake across nearly the full length of the scabbard body. A kurikata fitting sits near the mouth, threaded with a black sageo cord. The overall effect is rich and layered - deep red with metallic shimmer that shifts under different light. This piece is part of the Multi-colored Katana collection, which highlights swords with standout, multi-tone koshirae treatments.
Total length is 41 inches with a shipping weight of 5 lb. The sword arrives individually handmade, so minor variation in finishing detail is inherent to the process. Sword stand is not included.
