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.
