Product Details

The blade of this katana is forged from manganese steel and finished in a deep crimson-red tone, running 40.5 inches overall with a blade width of 1.26 inches. A visible hamon line traces the full edge in white contrast against the dark red body, produced through the hand-finishing process and giving the steel its signature raging-fire visual character. If you appreciate the range of Red Blade Katana Sword designs, this piece sits firmly at the refined end of that spectrum.

The tsuka is built on a full-tang core, with black ito cord wrapped in a traditional diamond pattern over red PU samegawa underneath. The contrasting black-and-red wrap is tight and even, providing a secure grip surface while maintaining the bold color pairing visible throughout the piece. Alloy habaki and fittings lock the blade securely within the handle assembly.

The tsuba is cast in black alloy with a dragon theme in raised relief across both faces - a detailed composition showing the dragon mid-coil, with clear scale and claw definition. A gold-toned brass collar separates the tsuba from the tsuka, adding a deliberate metallic accent between the two darker components.

The saya is crafted from hardwood with a full black lacquer finish. Three gold dragon appliques are spaced along the outer face of the scabbard, matching the tsuba's dragon motif and reinforcing the theme across the complete koshirae. A black-and-white braided sageo cord is attached at the kurigata, providing both a traditional carrying detail and a visual contrast point against the matte black lacquer surface.

At 3.2 lb and 40.5 inches, this katana is proportioned for wall mounting, display stands, or serious collection. Each sword is individually handcrafted, so minor variation in finish and specification is inherent to the process. Sword stand not included.

  • Forged from manganese steel, the dark red blade carries a distinct hamon line along its full length, giving the blade a layered visual depth rarely seen at this price point.
  • Full-tang construction runs the blade through the entire handle core, secured with alloy fittings and a black-red ito wrap over red PU samegawa for a firm, balanced grip.
  • The black alloy tsuba is cast with a relief dragon motif - deeply detailed on both faces, serving as the visual centerpiece connecting blade and handle.
  • Black hardwood lacquer saya features gold dragon appliques along the body and a black-white sageo cord tied at the kurigata, making the scabbard as refined as the blade.
  • Overall length 40.5 in, blade width 1.26 in, total weight 3.2 lb - sized for display mounting or serious collection, each piece individually handcrafted with slight natural variation.

In love with the sword. The blade is more of an ember orange than a crimson red but I still love it
