Product Details
The blade is forged from T10 carbon steel using a full-tang construction, with clay tempering that produces a genuine hamon along the cutting edge. The hamon line is visible as a distinct wave pattern separating the hardened edge from the body of the blade, a result of differential heat treatment rather than cosmetic etching. The blade surface carries a chrome-toned polish that highlights the geometry of the grind and the natural contrast of the hamon.
The tsuka is built on a wooden core and wrapped in real white samegawa (rayskin), which provides the textured base layer traditional to Japanese sword construction. Over the samegawa, brown cotton cord is wrapped in the standard diamond-lozenge pattern, producing a firm, non-slip grip surface. The kashira and fuchi fittings are cast in alloy with a finish that complements the overall brown-and-gold color scheme of the handle assembly.
The tsuba is copper-based, featuring a raised dragon motif rendered in gold and silver gilding against a black ground. The dragon is depicted in coiling form with fine surface detail - scales, claws, and cloud elements are all present. For collectors drawn to dragon-themed mountings, this tsuba is the visual focal point of the entire Copper Dragon Katana aesthetic.
The saya is constructed from hardwood and finished in premium natural lacquer in a black-and-gold mixed-color scheme. The texture of the lacquer surface has visible depth, giving the scabbard a rich, layered appearance rather than a flat painted finish. Black sageo cord is attached at the kurikata and braided in a traditional wrap pattern, adding a functional and visual anchor to the lower portion of the saya.
