Product Details

The blade is drawn from manganese damascus steel, folded and finished to a chrome surface that carries layered wave patterns from tip to base. At HRC 62 hardness, the 28.74-inch nagasa holds a clean hamon line along its edge - the kind of visual detail that sets a properly built katana apart from lesser replicas. The full tang construction runs the entire length of the tsuka, keeping the mounting solid under the weight of the sword.

The tsuka is built on real rayskin (samegawa) in black, then wrapped with black cord in the traditional diagonal pattern. Gold diamond-shaped panels show through the gaps in the wrap, creating a black-and-gold contrast that reads sharply against the darker blade. The 10.62-inch handle length provides a confident two-hand grip and balances well against the 28.74-inch blade.

The gold-tone alloy tsuba is where the dragon theme begins. Cast with a full dragon in relief - coiling across clouds with claws extended - the guard has enough depth and detail to hold attention on its own. The antique gold finish suits the overall color palette of the sword and ties the handle fittings together with the saya artwork below.

The brown hardwood lacquer saya is the visual centerpiece of this katana. At 29.92 inches with a matte lacquer finish, it carries a painted dragon composition in white and gold across the body - a phoenix and dragon scene with fine scale and feather detail that catches light well. A black sageo cord wraps the kurigata in a braided knot, completing the traditional koshirae presentation. Explore more options in our Brown Pattern Steel Katana collection.

Overall length is 40.55 inches and total weight is 2.8 lb., with a shipping weight of 3.3 lb. The matching dragon motif across tsuba and saya makes this a cohesive display piece for collectors interested in High Carbon Damascus Steel Katana styles with strong decorative character.
