Damascus Steel Katana with Teal Lacquer Saya - Dark Blue Handle & Gold Flower Tsuba

The blade of this katana is forged from Damascus steel, revealing flowing wave-like layer patterns that run the full length of the chrome-finish surface. A full tang construction anchors the blade through the handle core, and the edge is hand-finished to a refined profile. At 40.55 inches overall and 2.8 pounds, the proportions reflect a traditional tachi-length build suited for wall display or koshirae-style collection. Collectors drawn to Blue Damascus Katana designs will find this piece among the most visually layered options in the category.

The tsuka is built on a wood core and wrapped in genuine black samegawa (ray skin), then bound in dark blue cotton cord using a traditional diamond pattern. Gold-tone menuki are set into the wrap at both grip positions, catching light against the deep navy background. The overall handle construction is firm and balanced, with the cord providing reliable surface texture throughout the length of the grip.

At the blade-to-handle junction sits a round gold-tone tsuba engraved with a full floral motif - chrysanthemum-style blooms surrounded by scrolling vine details cover the face of the guard, with a contrasting dark inset panel at the center. The fuchi collar shares the same gold finish, tying the upper handle fittings into a cohesive koshirae aesthetic.

The saya is crafted from hardwood and finished in a premium teal lacquer base, over which gold and teal floral speckle patterning is applied - giving the scabbard surface a depth and texture visible from multiple angles. The koiguchi opening is clean-fitted, and the dark blue sageo cord is laced in a formal knot pattern around the saya body, terminating in a decorative red amber oval bead that anchors the cord visually. For a broader look at Blue Pattern Steel Katana options with similar saya treatments, this piece represents a distinctive colorway within the lineup.
