1095 Carbon Steel Katana with Wave Hamon in Red Saya - Full Tang Replica with Red Ito

The blade is forged from 1095 carbon steel, ground to a 28.74-inch nagasa and hardened to 62 HRC. A wave-pattern hamon runs visibly along the shinogi, and the surface carries a wave engraving that reinforces the raging fire design theme. The chrome-polished finish catches light cleanly, while the hand-finished edge maintains the geometry expected of a full-tang Red 1095 Carbon Steel Katana replica built for long-term display.

The tsuka measures 10.62 inches and is underlaid with genuine black rayskin - a traditional samegawa material valued for its texture and grip contribution. Red ito is wrapped over the rayskin in a classic diamond pattern, creating the high-contrast black-and-red handle combination visible throughout the piece. The wrap is firm and even, with the menuki seated cleanly beneath the cord.

The tsuba is a round alloy piece finished in black with a gold-tone center inlay. Ornate scroll cutwork opens through the guard in an asymmetric pattern that references smoke and flame shapes, providing visual depth without adding bulk. At the habaki, the transition from tsuba to blade is clean and tight, consistent with koshirae-style assembly.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in a dark red-to-black gradient lacquer with a matte surface. At 29.92 inches, it fits the blade with appropriate friction draw. A red sageo is attached at the kurigata and tied in a looped knot, completing the all-red color story that runs from ito to sageo to saya. If you're building out a themed display, the Red Dragon Samurai Ninja Katana Sword collection offers complementary pieces in the same palette.

Overall length is 40.55 inches and total weight is 2.8 lb. Packaged dimensions are 42.9 x 3.9 x 3.5 inches with a shipping weight of 3.3 lb. This katana is designed as a collectible koshirae replica - the wave hamon, scroll tsuba, and lacquered saya work together as a complete aesthetic system rather than individual components.
