Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel, a high-carbon tool steel valued for its edge retention and fine grain structure. A real hamon line runs along the blade's length, produced through the differential hardening process - the undulating temper line is clearly visible against the chrome-finished steel and gives the blade its characteristic layered visual depth. At 40.5 inches overall with a blade width of 1.26 inches and thickness of 0.28 inches, the proportions follow traditional katana geometry closely.
The handle is built on a full tang core, ensuring the blade and tsuka form a single continuous unit. Black cotton cord is wound in a diagonal tsukamaki pattern over real white samegawa (ray skin), creating the textured grip surface traditional to Japanese swordsmithing. The black ito wrapping is firm and consistent, with the white samegawa diamonds visible at each crossing point.
The gold-tone tsuba is one of the most detailed elements of this piece. Cast in a chrysanthemum theme, the guard's surface is covered in dense floral relief with fine petal definition across the entire face. A rectangular seppa area frames the blade opening, and the overall tone is warm gold throughout - well-matched to the habaki collar seated below it.
The saya is lacquered hardwood finished in vivid red, and hand-decorated with a gold dragon motif. The dragon winds across the lower section of the scabbard against a backdrop of stylized clouds and flames rendered in gold, red, and white. The black sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata with a clean finish. This Red Katana brings together bold color and traditional craftsmanship in a way that stands out in any collection.
At 3.2 lb, the sword carries noticeable weight consistent with a full-construction piece. Each sword is individually handmade, so minor variations in finish and fitting may occur. Sword stand not included. For more options in this style, browse our Red Scabbard Japanese Samurai Swords collection.
