Product Details

The blade is forged from Damascus manganese steel and runs 28.74 inches from base to tip, hardened to 62 HRC. The surface carries the layered wave patterns inherent to Damascus construction, and a hamon line traces the length of the edge - visible evidence of the differential finishing process. The chrome-toned finish keeps the grain work prominent without overpolishing, letting the steel's natural character stay front and center.

The tsuka measures 10.62 inches and is wrapped in green cord over a foundation of real rayskin - black samegawa that adds texture and grip beneath the ito. The alternating diamond gaps in the wrapping follow traditional spacing, and the overall handle feel is firm without being stiff. It's a full tang build, meaning the steel runs uninterrupted from blade tip through the entire handle core.

The tsuba is an alloy piece in a brown-gold colorway, shaped as a rounded oval with openwork chrysanthemum carvings spread across its face. Floral accents ring the perimeter, and the gold-tone habaki beneath it provides a clean visual transition between guard and blade. For collectors drawn to botanically themed koshirae, this guard is one of the more intricate examples in this price range - browse the Silver Flower Tsuba Katana collection for related floral guard designs.

The saya is hardwood finished in matte lacquer with a teal base and a crackle-web surface pattern that reads as marble-like under light. At 29.92 inches, it fits the blade snugly. The sageo is woven in alternating green and white stripes and tied in a structured knot at the kurikata - the color pairing reinforces the green-forward palette that runs from tsuka to saya. This crackle-lacquer finish approach is also explored across other builds in the Honshu Damascus Katana collection.

Overall length is 40.55 inches and the sword weighs 2.8 lb. Koshirae fittings - tsuba, habaki, and sageo - maintain a consistent green, brown, and gold palette throughout. The combination of Damascus patterning on the blade and the teal marble saya makes this a visually distinctive piece for display or as a centerpiece in a Japanese sword collection.
