Product Details

This katana features a full tang blade forged from folded pattern steel, producing the distinctive damascus layered grain visible along the red-finished surface. The warm copper-red coloring runs the full length of the blade, with the folded steel texture becoming especially pronounced near the edge, giving each piece a unique visual fingerprint.

The tsuka measures 11 inches and is constructed on a hardwood core wrapped in PU red samegawa beneath a black cotton cord ito. The wrapping follows a traditional diamond pattern, with the red samegawa peeking through at even intervals to create a rhythmic black-and-red color scheme that echoes the blade's tone.

At the guard position sits an alloy tsuba with an openwork floral and petal cutout design finished in a dark tone, paired with a gold-tone habaki collar featuring an engraved geometric pattern. Together, these fittings provide a sophisticated transition between the handle and blade. The kashira and other metal accents carry matching dark finishes with chrysanthemum-style engravings.

The hardwood saya is finished in a marble-style purple speckled lacquer that gives it an almost stone-like texture under light. A black sageo cord is tied neatly around the saya's kurikata, completing the traditional profile. This scabbard finish sets the piece apart from standard lacquered options and pairs well with the red blade for a bold overall color palette.

With an overall length of 40.5 inches and a weight of 2.88 lbs, this Red Damascus Katana Sword carries the proportions and balance of a traditional katana. The combination of folded pattern steel construction, red blade finish, and marble purple saya makes it a standout addition to any damascus steel katana collection.
