Red Katana Sword – 40.5" High Carbon Damascus Steel Samurai Sword

The katana sword, forged with a red Damascus steel blade, is one of the most iconic weapons in Japanese history. Traditionally wielded by the samurai of ancient and feudal Japan, the katana is renowned for its elegant yet lethal design. It features a curved, single-edged blade, a circular or squared guard, and a long, two-handed grip—crafted for both precision and power.

Western historians often regard the katana as one of the finest cutting weapons in world military history. By definition, a katana refers to any sword of this style with a blade length exceeding 24 inches. Our Red Katana measures an impressive 40.5 inches, constructed from pattern-welded high carbon Damascus steel with striking red coloration and finished with polished brass bolsters.

Blade Material: Pattern-Welded High Carbon Damascus Steel

This katana is forged using the traditional art of pattern welding, combining 11 pieces of steel folded five times to produce an intricate 352-layer Damascus pattern. The steel blend includes high carbon 1095 steel, prized for its superior hardness, alongside layers of carbon steel for added durability and flexibility.

With a Rockwell hardness of 55-56 HRC, the blade is meticulously heat-treated to maintain a razor-sharp edge while offering resilience against heavy impacts. This balance of strength and flexibility makes it an ideal choice for collectors, martial artists, and sword enthusiasts alike.

Handle & Sheath

The handle is crafted from polished wood and accented with brass bolsters, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip. The katana comes complete with a premium wood and leather sheath, providing protection and an elegant display option.
