Product Details

The blade is forged from Damascus steel, producing the characteristic layered surface patterns that ripple across the gold-toned finish from hamon to spine. At 40.5 inches overall with a 1.26-inch width and 0.275-inch thickness, the full-tang construction runs the complete length of the handle, keeping the assembly solid and well-balanced at 3.17 lbs. The hand-finished edge and flowing geometry make this a standout piece within the Gold Damascus Katana category.

The tsuka is built on a PU white samegawa foundation, wrapped in black cotton cord using the traditional tsukamaki diamond pattern. The 10mm cord provides even tension across the grip surface with a soft, non-slip texture that holds its form over time. Antique gold-tone copper fittings - menuki and habaki - complement the blade's warm coloration and tie the handle construction together visually.

The tsuba is one of the most distinctive elements of this build. Cast in antique gold-tone copper, it carries a deeply embossed dragon motif across both faces, with scaled texture and curling relief work that catches light from multiple angles. The irregular sculpted outline reinforces the dragon theme without losing the structural function of the guard.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in multiple coats of premium natural lacquer, resulting in a deep, even gloss across the full jet-black surface. The black sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata in a traditional style, with a single orange bead accent providing a subtle point of contrast against the dark finish. The embossed craft detailing on the saya surface adds low-relief texture that rewards close inspection. Explore more options in the Gold Damascus Katana Sword collection.
