Product Details
The blade is forged from Damascus steel, revealing flowing layered patterns across its 40.5-inch length and a clearly defined hamon line along the edge. Each blade carries its own grain character - no two Damascus swords look alike - and the chrome-polished surface brings the patterning into sharp relief. At 2.91 lb and 1.26 inches wide at the base, the proportions follow traditional katana geometry without excess bulk. Explore more options in our Damascus Steel Katana collection.
The tsuka is built on a full tang core and wrapped with genuine white same (ray skin) beneath black ito, wound in the classic diamond-gap style visible in the product imagery. The white samegawa creates bright, evenly spaced lozenges against the dark cord - a pairing that rewards close inspection as much as distance viewing.
The tsuba is the defining accent piece on this build. Cast in bronze with an antique finish, it features an openwork design centered on cranes in flight surrounded by chrysanthemum-style florals. The relief depth is substantial, with fine feather and petal detail visible in the close-up image. A gold-tone oval menuki sits at the center, adding a warm metallic focal point against the darker bronze field.
The saya is the most visually dramatic component. Hardwood-core construction is finished in premium natural lacquer, producing the striking black-and-white marbled surface seen throughout the images - streaks of ivory, grey, and deep black layered under a high-gloss coat. A teal sageo cord is knotted at the kurikata, providing the one strong chromatic note that ties the cool saya tones to the warmer tsuba metals.
