1090 Carbon Steel Katana with Red Dragon Saya - Full Tang Samurai Sword in White Ito
- Forged from 1090 carbon steel with a full-tang construction that runs the entire length of the handle, the blade delivers solid balance and features a hand-finished hamon line along its length.
- A dragon engraving etched directly onto the blade adds a dramatic artistic detail, complementing the chrome-finished surface and the wave-pattern hamon visible from tip to spine.
- The white ito handle wraps over a PU red samegawa base, creating a bold red-and-white contrast secured by a traditional diamond-pattern tsukamaki binding with red accent diamonds.
- The gold-and-white alloy tsuba features an open-work dragon motif with raised relief detailing - a striking focal point that ties the dragon theme across blade, guard, and saya into one cohesive design.
- The red hardwood lacquer saya is finished with a painted dragon scene running its full length, secured by a black-and-red braided sageo cord tied at the koiguchi for a polished koshirae presentation.

Product Details
The blade is forged from 1090 carbon steel with a full-tang construction, meaning the steel core extends uninterrupted through the entire handle length. A visible hamon line traces the edge from hilt to tip, and a detailed dragon engraving is etched into the black-finished spine section near the habaki - a striking contrast against the chrome-polished cutting edge. Overall blade length runs 40.55 inches wide and 1.259 inches at the widest point, with the complete sword weighing in at 2.8 lbs.;
The tsuka is built over a PU red samegawa layer that provides texture and grip foundation. White ito cord wraps in a traditional diamond tsukamaki pattern over the samegawa, with red diamond accents visible at each cross point - a bold two-tone combination that reads as clean and intentional from any angle. The handle geometry is shaped for a stable two-hand grip.
The gold-and-white alloy tsuba is one of the most visually complex elements of this piece. Its open-work circular frame features a raised dragon figure rendered in gold relief against a white-finished surround, with cutout negative spaces that add depth and reduce visual weight. A matching gold habaki collar sits below the guard, maintaining the gold accent tone into the blade transition.
The red hardwood lacquer saya carries a full-length painted dragon scene - a serpentine dragon rendered in gold, black, and white against the lacquered red ground. The imagery wraps across the full saya body and is secured at the koiguchi by a black-and-red braided sageo cord tied in a traditional knot. This is a Red 1090 Carbon Steel Japanese Samurai Sword built around a unified dragon theme executed across every component.
At 40.55 inches overall and 2.8 lbs, this katana is sized and balanced for display in a traditional koshirae presentation. The dragon motif appears on the blade engraving, tsuba relief, and saya painting simultaneously, making it a coherent collector piece rather than a mismatched assembly. Sword stand not included.
