Product Details

The blade is forged from Damascus steel, measuring 28.74 inches and hardened to 62 HRC. Its layered construction produces the flowing wave-like patterns the material is known for, visible along the flat and toward the edge. The chrome-toned surface catches light at different angles, letting the steel's structure speak for itself. Full tang construction runs the length of the handle, contributing to the sword's 2.8 lb overall balance.

The tsuka stretches 10.62 inches and is wrapped in dark green cotton ito over genuine white samegawa. The rayskin's natural nodule texture sits beneath the wrap, improving grip retention and providing the traditional layered feel underhand. The contrast between the dark green cord and cream-toned samegawa diamonds creates a clean, classic pattern that holds up both aesthetically and functionally.

The alloy tsuba carries a dragon theme rendered in raised relief across its circular face. The silver base is accented with gold gilding on the dragon figure, giving it a two-tone finish that catches detail without being overworked. Habaki and fuchi continue the silver-and-gold palette, keeping the fittings visually consistent from collar to pommel. This piece sits within the broader tradition of Multi-colored Damascus Steel Katana designs that pair bold blade material with richly detailed koshirae.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in matte red natural lacquer, 29.92 inches in length. The matte surface diffuses light evenly across the red tone, avoiding the high-gloss look in favor of a quieter, more classical finish. A dark green and cream braided sageo ties at the koiguchi, echoing the ito color and tying the assembled piece together. The Darkred Leather Scabbard Katana collection offers related options for those drawn to this red-saya aesthetic.

Assembled in traditional koshirae style, the sword measures 40.55 inches overall and ships at 3.3 lb. The pairing of Damascus patterning, dragon-motif tsuba, red lacquer saya, and dark green ito produces a piece where each component reinforces the others - a coherent set built for serious collectors and display enthusiasts who want both material quality and visual impact.

  • Damascus steel blade, 28.74 in long and hardened to 62 HRC, displays flowing layered patterns across its full length with a hand-finished edge and full tang construction for solid balance.
  • Dark green cotton ito wraps the tsuka over genuine white rayskin (samegawa), creating a secure two-handed grip with natural texture - tsuka measures 10.62 in.
  • Alloy tsuba features a raised dragon motif with silver base tone and gold accent gilding, adding bold sculptural detail at the guard without adding unnecessary bulk.
  • Red hardwood saya finished in matte natural lacquer runs 29.92 in, paired with a dark green and cream braided sageo tied at the koiguchi for a striking color contrast.
  • Overall length 40.55 in, weight 2.8 lb - proportions follow traditional koshirae style, suited for wall display, collection, or Japanese sword study.
