Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from Damascus steel, producing the layered wave patterning visible along the flat and the chrome-finish surface. A distinct hamon line traces the length of the nagasa at 40.5 inches, with a blade width of 1.26 inches and spine thickness of 0.275 inches. The full-tang construction runs the steel continuously through the handle core, keeping the assembly stable at 3.17 lb total weight.
The tsuka is built over genuine white samegawa - real rayskin - and finished with black cotton cord in a traditional diamond-pattern wrap. Gold-tone menuki accents are set under the cord at even intervals, catching light against the dark ito and adding depth to the handle's texture.
The tsuba is one of the most visually striking components of this piece. Cast in gold-tone metal with an openwork circular frame, it features a coiling dragon in high relief with detailed cloud scrollwork surrounding the central opening. The habaki and seppa seat cleanly against the guard, maintaining proper blade alignment within the koshirae assembly.
The saya is wrapped in black pearl rayskin - a granular, textured surface with scattered rust-orange mineral inclusions that give it natural depth rather than a uniform finish. Real horn is used for both the koiguchi (mouth of the scabbard) and the kojiri (end cap), providing dense, wear-resistant reinforcement at the two points that take the most contact. A red-and-white braided sageo cord is tied at the kurikata, the contrasting colors standing out sharply against the dark saya body. Explore more styles in our Gold Damascus Katana collection.
This katana is a koshirae-style collectible suited for display or careful handling. The combination of Damascus patterning, gold dragon tsuba, and textured rayskin saya creates a visually cohesive piece across all its fittings. For collectors interested in rayskin scabbard variations, the Blue Rayskin Saya Japanese Samurai Swords collection offers additional options in the same construction style.
