Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from manganese steel and finished in a deep burnt-red that runs edge to spine, contrasted by a white hamon wave that traces the lower edge. The hamon is real and visible, giving the red surface a layered, almost molten appearance rather than a flat painted look. Full-tang construction keeps the blade solidly seated through the handle with no flex at the joint.
The tsuka is wrapped in traditional diamond-pattern cord over PU black samegawa, producing a secure textured grip with consistent spacing across every diamond. Gold-tone menuki accents are set under the wrap at the standard positions, visible as small raised details through the cord. The overall handle color is black throughout, creating a clean contrast against the red blade when the sword is drawn.
The gold-tone dragon tsuba is the visual centerpiece of the fittings. Cast with openwork relief, a dragon coils around the full circumference of the guard with scale and claw detail that reads clearly even at arm's length. The warm gold finish ties into the menuki above and the accent hardware below for a cohesive fittings palette. For collectors exploring Colored Blade Katana options, this dragon-tsuba pairing stands out immediately in a display lineup.
The saya is built from hardwood with a lacquer finish in white, then hand-decorated with a full-length monochrome geisha scene - a flowing figure rendered in grey and black ink against the pale ground. A black sageo cord is tied at the kurigata, providing both a visual anchor at the mid-saya point and a functional retention cord. The white saya and black sageo create the sharpest color contrast in the set. Collectors building a Silver Saya Katana display will find this white geisha saya offers a distinct tonal alternative worth pairing alongside.
Overall length is 41 inches with a blade width of 1.259 inches and spine thickness of 0.275 inches. Shipping weight is 4 lb. The sword stand is not included. This piece is intended as a collector replica and display item.
