Damascus Steel Katana with Folded Blade, Black Hardwood Saya & Geometric Tsuba - Full Tang
- Hand-forged damascus steel blade with folded melaleuca steel layers produces a striking swirl-pattern surface and a precision-finished edge that holds its geometry over time.
- Full tang construction runs the blade steel through the entire tsuka, providing structural integrity and balanced weight distribution at 2.8 lbs across a 40.55-inch overall length.
- Black geometric alloy tsuba with a spoke-cut openwork design adds a bold visual contrast against the chrome-finish damascus blade, staying true to traditional koshirae styling.
- Natural lacquered hardwood saya in black with dark green brocade accents and a black sageo cord offers a clean, layered presentation when fully assembled.
- Black cord tsuka-ito wrapped over pu black samegawa provides a secure, textured grip with consistent diamond-pattern spacing along the full handle length.

Product Details
The blade on this katana is hand-forged from folded melaleuca damascus steel, a process that layers and welds the steel repeatedly to produce the flowing wave and swirl patterns visible across the flat and near the edge. The result is a chrome-finish surface with organic, high-contrast patterning - each piece visually unique as a result of the folding process. Blade length runs 40.55 inches overall, with a width of 1.259 inches and a spine thickness of 0.275 inches.
The tsuka is built on a full tang core, meaning the blade steel extends the full length of the handle for structural continuity. Black pu samegawa forms the base layer beneath the tsuka-ito, which is wrapped in black cord using a consistent diamond-pattern binding. The overall piece weighs 2.8 lbs, keeping handling feel balanced through the draw.
The tsuba is a black alloy piece in a geometric, spoke-cut openwork format - visible in detail as a circular frame with evenly spaced radial cutouts. The dark metal tone pairs cleanly with the chrome-patterned blade and the all-black handle assembly, maintaining a cohesive monochromatic palette across the koshirae fittings.
The saya is constructed from hardwood finished in natural black lacquer, producing a smooth, low-sheen surface. A dark green brocade fabric wraps the upper koiguchi area, and the black sageo cord is secured at the kurikata with a standard knot. This is part of our broader Full Tang Folded Steel Katana line, which shares this blade construction method across multiple koshirae configurations.
At 2.8 lbs and packaged in a 42.9 x 3.9 x 3.5-inch box, this katana is suited for display mounting, collection, or koshirae study. The koshirae-style assembly - blade, tsuka, tsuba, and saya presented as a complete fitted set - reflects traditional Japanese sword presentation. Sword stand not included.
