- Forged from Damascus steel, the full tang blade displays the material's signature layered patterns with a visible hamon line - a differential hardening effect that runs along the edge without clay tempering.
- A gold-tone alloy tsuba shaped as a coiled snake wraps around the handguard in striking detail - scales, body coils, and head rendered in high relief, giving this piece a bold visual identity.
- The tsuka is wrapped in black cotton cord over a red base layer, with red diamond-shaped accents peeking through the crossings - a black-red color combination that photographs dramatically against the gold tsuba.
- Dragon engraving runs along the black lacquer hardwood saya, adding a second thematic layer to the piece alongside the snake tsuba - the pairing of these two motifs is intentional and visually cohesive.
- A white sageo cord is tied at the koiguchi, offering a clean contrast against the gloss-black saya finish - total overall length is 41 inches, weight 3 lbs, shipped in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch package.

Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from Damascus steel, delivering the material's recognizable layered surface patterns and a natural hamon line along the edge. At 41 inches overall and 3 lbs, the full tang construction runs the complete length of the handle for solid balance. The chrome-finish blade is ground to a refined edge with a visible temper line that catches light at different angles - a defining characteristic of the Damascus steel used here. For collectors drawn to Folded Damascus Steel Katana aesthetics, the blade's layered visual texture is a genuine highlight.
The tsuka is built with a black cotton cord wrap over a red underlayer, with red diamond-shaped panels showing through the gaps in the crossings. The black-over-red combination creates a high-contrast handle that pairs deliberately with the gold hardware throughout the piece. The wrap provides a firm, textured grip surface across the full length of the handle.
The tsuba is the standout feature of this katana - cast from gold-tone alloy in the form of a coiled snake. The serpent's scales, body curves, and head are rendered in high relief, wrapping around the full circular guard. The gold finish is consistent and richly detailed, making the tsuba a focal point that anchors the entire color story of the piece.
The hardwood saya is finished in a deep gloss black lacquer with dragon engravings running along the body - a second thematic motif that complements the snake tsuba rather than competing with it. A white sageo cord is tied at the koiguchi, the off-white tone contrasting cleanly against the lacquered surface. This is a well-considered detail that breaks up the all-black saya and adds visual layering. Collectors interested in Black Hardwood Japanese Samurai Swords will recognize the quality of the lacquer finish here.
Dimensions: 41 inches overall length, 0.275 inches blade thickness, 3 lbs. Ships in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch package at 4 lbs. Sword stand not included. This piece is designed for display and collection - the Damascus steel blade, gold snake tsuba, and dragon-engraved saya together form a coherent, visually striking set that holds up to close inspection.
