Damascus Folded Steel Katana with Real Hamon - Gold Geometric Tsuba, Orange Ito & Floral Black Saya

The blade is forged from folded damascus steel, layered through repeated folding to produce the distinctive melaleuca grain pattern visible along the polished flat. A real hamon temper line runs the full length of the nagasa, standing out clearly against the chrome finish as the light shifts - evidence of the differential heat treatment applied during forging. The blade measures 40.55 inches in total length with a 1.259-inch width, and the full-tang construction means the steel extends uninterrupted into the handle core. For collectors interested in the full range of folded blade options, the Damascus Folded Steel Katana collection covers a wide selection of layered steel builds.

The tsuka is wrapped in genuine white samegawa rayskin as the base layer, with orange tsuka-ito cord wound over it in the traditional diagonal pattern. The cord creates evenly spaced diamond windows that expose the white rayskin beneath - a pairing that defines the warm color story of this koshirae. The wrap is firm and consistent along the full handle length, with small silver menuki ornaments visible beneath the cord at two points.

The tsuba is round, cast in a gold tone, and engraved with a dense geometric maze pattern that covers the full face of the guard. The design is precise and symmetrical, with interlocking rectangular channels that give the guard a layered, architectural quality. The gold finish contrasts with the white of the habaki collar and the orange of the ito wrap directly above it.

The saya is built from hardwood finished in black lacquer, and the lower half of the scabbard carries hand-painted amber floral decoration - trailing stems with rounded autumn leaves rendered in warm orange-brown against the gloss black ground. An orange and dark brown braided sageo cord is bound around the saya mouth with both colors twisted together, finished with tasseled ends that echo the orange of the handle wrap. The Authentic Katana Set collection pairs swords like this one with coordinated koshirae accessories for display or collection purposes.

Total length is 40.55 inches, overall weight is 2.8 lbs, and the package ships at 3.3 lbs in a 42.9 x 3.9 x 3.5 inch box. The complete koshirae - from the floral black saya to the gold geometric tsuba and orange ito wrap - makes this a cohesive collectible piece built around a warm amber-and-black palette.
