- Damascus steel full-tang blade with a visible hamon line, achieved through clay tempering - combining edge hardness with a spine that absorbs flex across the 40.55-inch overall length.
- Orange samegawa handle wrap pairs with tightly woven brown ito in a classic diamond pattern, creating a secure, textured grip that anchors the gold-accented tsuka visually.
- Gold-black copper tsuba features an intricate openwork snake motif with dark oxidized detailing - a hand-finished centerpiece that ties the sword's serpent theme together.
- Hardwood lacquer saya in black with bold orange stripe detailing displays a hand-applied red snake painting at mid-body, making the scabbard a standalone art piece.
- Brown sageo cord is knotted at the saya mouth in a traditional style, complementing the dark brown ito and completing the earthy gold-and-brown color story across the full koshirae.

Product Details
The blade is forged from Damascus steel and clay tempered to produce a genuine hamon - the undulating temper line visible along the blade's length that marks the boundary between hardened edge and resilient spine. At 40.55 inches overall with a 1.259-inch width and 0.275-inch spine thickness, the chrome-finished blade carries the layered grain pattern characteristic of Damascus construction, finished to a mirror polish that accentuates every fold in the steel. For collectors drawn to pattern-welded work, this sits alongside other pieces in the Damascus Blade Katana collection.
The tsuka is built over an orange samegawa base - the textured ray skin visible through the open diamonds of the brown ito wrap. The cord is wound in a tight, even hishi-gumi pattern with gold-toned diamond windows framing the samegawa beneath, giving the handle a warm two-tone appearance. The wrap terminates cleanly at both ends, and the overall grip length balances the blade's reach at a total sword weight of 2.8 pounds.
At the blade-handle junction sits a copper tsuba finished in gold and black. The guard is cast in an openwork design featuring a coiled snake motif - the serpent's body forming the guard's negative space while dark oxidized accents define the scales and contours. This hand-finished piece serves as the visual anchor of the koshirae, echoing the snake theme carried throughout the sword's fittings.
The hardwood lacquer saya presents the most visually striking element of the set. The base coat is deep black, bisected lengthwise by a bold orange stripe that runs the full length of the scabbard. A hand-painted red snake illustration wraps across the saya's midsection - rendered in fine detail against the dark lacquer ground. A brown sageo cord is knotted at the koiguchi in a traditional knot, its color coordinating with the tsuka ito for a cohesive finish. This level of decorative detail places it comfortably among the Beautiful Katana Sword collection.
At 2.8 pounds with a 40.55-inch overall length and shipping weight of 3.3 pounds, this katana is sized and balanced for display or koshirae study. The full koshirae - blade, tsuka, tsuba, and saya - presents a unified serpent narrative rendered in Damascus steel, copper, lacquered hardwood, and hand-dyed cord. It is a collector's piece for those who value thematic consistency and visible craftsmanship across every component.
