Damascus Steel Wakizashi with Dragon Saya in Black & Orange - Gold-Copper Dragon Tsuba

The blade is drawn from damascus steel, its layered construction producing a flowing surface pattern that shifts in the light. A defined hamon line traces the edge along the full 30.3-inch blade, with a chrome finish that highlights the steel's natural visual depth. The full tang construction runs the complete length of the handle for solid balance at 2.1 lb total weight. For collectors interested in this steel type, our Black Damascus Wakizashi collection brings together similar pieces in one place.

The tsuka is built in traditional koshirae style, with white same rayskin laid beneath a tight black cord wrap. The alternating diamond pattern of the same shows cleanly through the wrap spacing, giving the handle both visual structure and texture. The overall black handle silhouette stays clean and consistent from collar to pommel.

The tsuba is the visual centerpiece of the fittings - a dragon theme rendered in gold and copper tones, with the dragon form worked in detail across the guard face. The warm metallic tones of gold and copper read as a sharp contrast against the black handle wrap and dark saya, drawing the eye immediately to the transition point between blade and grip.

The saya is black hardwood finished in lacquer, with a full-length embossed dragon design carved in relief across the surface. Orange accents run through the dragon's body and surrounding details, giving the otherwise dark scabbard a strong burst of color. The black and orange sageo cord tied at the koiguchi echoes this palette, completing the visual connection between handle and scabbard.
