Product Details

The blade is forged from Damascus steel, showing the folded layer pattern across the flat and a clearly defined hamon line along the edge. The chrome-finish surface catches light along the gentle curvature of the blade, with the hamon appearing as a natural wave-like boundary between the hardened edge and the body of the steel. At 41 inches overall and 3 lb, the proportions follow traditional katana geometry without compromise.

The tsuka is wrapped in black cord ito over white ray-skin samegawa, forming tight diamond-shaped openings in the classic style. The wrap is firm and even from habaki to kashira, giving the handle a secure, structured feel that complements the blade's weight distribution.

The tsuba is cast alloy in black with ornate scroll relief across its face - the carved pattern fills both sides with dense, curling motifs that read as both decorative and substantial. Gold-toned habaki and fittings bridge the transition between black tsuba and polished blade, adding a warm metallic accent to the junction.

The saya is the most visually arresting component: hardwood construction finished in a brown-and-black vine lacquer that covers the full length of the scabbard. The botanical scroll pattern sits in deep brown against a near-black ground, with a black sageo cord looped at the kurikata.

Fitted in traditional koshirae style throughout, this katana brings together Damascus steel, hand-finished fittings, and lacquerwork saya in a cohesive presentation. For collectors interested in folded-pattern blades, the Honshu Damascus Katana collection offers additional selections. Note: sword stand is not included.

  • Hardwood saya finished in brown-and-black vine lacquer - the swirling botanical pattern wraps the full length of the scabbard, tied with a black sageo cord and fitted with matching menuki details.
  • Overall length 41 inches, shipping weight 4 lb - built to display full proportions of a traditional katana silhouette with authentic koshirae fittings throughout.
