Product Details
The blade is forged from sanmai steel, a layered construction that places a harder steel core within a softer outer jacket - producing a visible hamon temper line along the length of the nagasa. Hand-finished to a refined edge and built full tang, the blade measures 40.5 inches overall and weighs 3.17 lbs, offering a balanced feel suited to display or kata movement. The chrome-toned polish highlights the hamon contrast clearly against the flat of the blade, as seen in the close-up detail shots.
The tsuka is wrapped in black cotton cord in a traditional diamond-pattern over real white samegawa (ray skin). The textured ray skin surface anchors the cord wrap and provides natural grip structure, while the black sageo cord ties at the saya collar for a complete koshirae presentation. Copper fittings - including the habaki and fuchi - complement the handle's dark tones. If you're drawn to this handle style, explore our full Lotus Flower Tsuba Katana lineup for related aesthetics.
The brown copper tsuba is cast with a raised cherry blossom floral relief across its full surface, finished with gold and silver gilding that catches light from multiple angles. The circular form fits cleanly at the blade-handle junction, functioning as both guard and the visual centerpiece of the assembly. The warm metallic tones of the tsuba bridge the chrome blade and the deep red saya.
The saya is crafted from hardwood and finished in multiple coats of high-gloss red piano lacquer, producing the deep, mirror-like surface visible in the product images. Hand-painted autumn maple leaf motifs in gold, amber, and orange tones run along the scabbard body, giving each piece a unique painted character. Real horn koiguchi (mouth fitting) and kojiri (end cap) reinforce the saya openings for durability and authentic detail. For more options in this finish family, see our Red Steel Katana collection.
Packaged at 43.3 x 3.93 x 3.14 inches with a shipping weight of 4.4 lbs, this katana is suited for collectors who prioritize visual detail and traditional koshirae construction. Sword stand not included.
