Product Details
The blade is forged from manganese Damascus steel, 28.74 inches of layered, folded steel that carries a visible hamon line running its full length. Hardened to 62 HRC, the steel holds a refined edge while the distinctive Damascus grain pattern gives the surface a depth that standard monosteel cannot replicate. The chrome-finish polish brings out the layered folds clearly against the light.
The tsuka measures 10.62 inches and is built on a full tang core - the same steel that forms the blade continues uninterrupted through the handle. Real black rayskin (samegawa) wraps the wooden core beneath brown cotton ito wound in a traditional diamond pattern, keeping the grip anchored even during extended handling. Menuki details are set beneath the ito wrapping at both pressure points.
The tsuba is cast from alloy in a gold-black two-tone finish with a dragon motif in high relief. The dragon scales, claws, and cloud forms are individually defined across the surface, with the darkened recesses and bright gold ridges creating a layered sculptural effect. It pairs naturally with the gold habaki collar seated below it. Explore more pieces in this aesthetic category through our Gold Damascus Steel Katana collection.
The saya is the most visually arresting component of this koshirae. Hardwood lacquered in a matte gold base, it is hand-painted with a full koi and lotus composition - a teal-scaled koi winds across the lower half while orange lotus blossoms and white water foam fill the surrounding space. No two sayas share the exact same brushwork placement. The brown sageo wraps the kurikata with a cream-and-brown tassel bow finishing the presentation. For additional gold-theme options, see the Gold Damascus Steel Japanese Samurai Swords collection.
Overall length is 40.55 inches. The sword weighs 2.8 lb and ships in a 42.9 x 3.9 x 3.5 in package at 3.3 lb. The koshirae-style mounting, painted saya, and Damascus blade make this a strong centerpiece for any Japanese sword display or collector's wall mount.
