- Damascus manganese steel blade, 28.74 in long, hardened to 62 HRC with a visible hamon line and hand-finished edge - the layered folding creates a distinctive swirling grain pattern across the full length.
- Full tang construction runs the entire length of the tsuka, providing structural integrity throughout the 40.55 in overall length and keeping the 2.8 lb sword balanced for display or handling.
- Brown cotton ito wrapping over real rayskin (samegawa) in black - the genuine ray skin base adds subtle texture under the diamond-pattern wrap, a traditional detail rarely found at this price point.
- Round gold-tone alloy tsuba with an engraved floral medallion motif - the warm gold finish ties directly into the brown ito and sageo cord, creating a cohesive warm-toned fittings palette.
- Black hardwood saya finished in matte natural lacquer, 29.92 in, fitted with a matching brown sageo cord and a black buffalo horn kurikata - clean lines with no surface gloss or artificial sheen.

Product Details
The blade is forged from Damascus manganese steel, folded through multiple layers to produce the flowing grain pattern visible along the entire 28.74 in nagasa. Hardened to 62 HRC, the steel holds a well-defined hamon line that traces the length of the polished, chrome-finish surface. The hand-finished edge and precise geometry reflect the attention to detail applied at every stage of the forging process. If you are exploring options across the Damascus steel category, Gray Damascus Steel Japanese Samurai Swords offers additional reference pieces in similar materials.
The tsuka measures 10.62 in and is built on a full tang core that extends without interruption from tip to pommel. Underneath the wrap, genuine black rayskin (samegawa) provides the grip foundation - the natural nodule texture of real ray skin keeps the hand stable and adds an authentic tactile quality. Over that base, brown cotton ito is wrapped in the traditional diamond pattern, secured at even intervals with white diamond menuki accents visible in the gaps.
The tsuba is a round gold-tone alloy piece centered with an engraved floral medallion. The ribbed outer rim and warm gold color complement the brown ito and sageo without competing with the grey tones of the Damascus blade. Matching gold-tone habaki and fuchi collar details complete the fittings assembly and maintain a consistent color story across the entire handle section.
The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in matte black natural lacquer, running 29.92 in with a clean, undecorated surface. A black buffalo horn kurikata anchors the brown braided sageo cord, which ties off in a traditional knot at mid-saya. The matte finish avoids the mirror-gloss look common on budget scabbards and holds up better over time in display settings. For similar sword configurations, Black Folded Steel Katana presents related options worth comparing.
Overall length is 40.55 in and total weight is 2.8 lb. Package dimensions are 42.5 x 3.9 x 3.5 in with a shipping weight of 3.3 lb. The koshirae-style fittings, Damascus blade, and lacquered hardwood saya make this a well-rounded piece suited for collectors focused on traditional Japanese sword aesthetics.
