Product Details
The 28.74-inch nagasa is forged from manganese Damascus steel, hardened to 62 HRC and finished with a visible hamon line that traces the edge in a flowing, natural pattern. The blade's chrome-toned surface catches light across its layered grain, a hallmark of Damascus construction that makes every inch of the steel visually distinct.

The 10.62-inch tsuka is built on a full tang core, wrapped first in genuine black rayskin and then in black ito cord. The wrapping opens in a series of evenly spaced diamond windows that reveal red beneath - a deliberate two-tone detail that gives the handle a striking, structured look. The grip is firm and secure, with the rayskin texture anchoring the cord wrap against any movement.
The tsuba is cast from alloy in a brown-gold finish and sculpted with a floral and cloud motif. Silver and gold accent tones highlight the relief carving - a horse figure among blossoms and swirling clouds - giving it the visual weight of a collector-grade fitting rather than a generic guard. It sits flush between blade and handle, balancing the koshirae proportions cleanly.
The hardwood saya is lacquered in deep, glossy red with a black crackle texture running its full 29.92-inch length, creating a layered visual depth that shifts between dark and bright depending on the light. A braided black sageo cord is knotted at the koiguchi with a small red-toned bead accent, and the overall saya profile tapers cleanly toward the kojiri. The Multi-colored Damascus Steel Katana collection offers additional saya colorways if you're comparing finish options.
Total length is 40.55 inches with an overall weight of 2.8 lb. The koshirae-style mounting - full tang blade, rayskin handle, lacquered hardwood saya, and detailed alloy tsuba - makes this a well-appointed piece for display or collection. Package dimensions are 42.9 x 3.9 x 3.5 inches, shipping weight 3.3 lb.
