To maintain your katana's appearance and performance over time, we recommend:

- Regularly wiping the blade with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints and moisture.
- Applying a light coat of choji oil to prevent rust (for carbon steel blades).
- Storing the sword in a dry place, preferably inside its saya.
- Avoiding direct contact with hard surfaces to preserve sharpness and finish.

Behind the Blade

Every katana we offer carries the essence of centuries-old craftsmanship.

More than just a weapon, the katana symbolizes discipline, honor, and mastery.

Our artisans draw inspiration from traditional forging methods to ensure each blade reflects the spirit of the samurai - strength, precision, and soul.

Owning one is not just about aesthetics - it’s about carrying a piece of that legacy.

User Experience

This katana is designed to offer a perfect balance between blade and handle.

Its ergonomic tsuka (handle) allows a secure two-handed grip, while the weight distribution ensures smooth, fluid movement.

Sold for collection and display. Handle carefully when placing on a stand or carrying out maintenance.

Red wrapping and rayskin saya / Akagane

Akagane T10 Katana with a Rayskin-Wrapped Saya

Akagane puts its most distinctive texture on the scabbard. Gray rayskin covers the wooden saya, beside a red-wrapped handle and red-and-white cord. A round dark guard leaves those surfaces in view, with a copper collar adding a small warm accent at the blade.

The blade

T10 steel with a genuine hamon

The blade is T10 tool steel with a genuine hamon listed in the specifications. The photos show a dark polished blade with a warm amber wave pattern along its surface. The full-tang blade is sharpened and measures 72 cm. The close-up shows that change in tone alongside the visible temper line.

The fittings

Rayskin on the handle and scabbard

Genuine rayskin covers the wooden saya and also sits beneath the red cotton handle wrapping. The gray, granular scabbard surface is quite different from smooth lacquer. Buffalo horn is specified for the end fittings, and a red-and-white cotton cord sits near the saya mouth. The round iron guard has curved cutouts, adding another detail beside the red wrap and textured scabbard.

A red-handled katana with a textured saya

Akagane gets its strongest color from the handle and cord, rather than a red blade finish. That matters if you are comparing red katanas: the Red Blade model uses crimson on the steel itself. Here, the dark blade and gray rayskin give the red wrapping a quieter setting.

In your collection

Show the rayskin beside the blade

The matching saya and horn-style bronze stand are included. Positioning the scabbard beside the sword keeps its natural texture visible. Allow room for the 105 cm overall length and use a stable display position where the edge stays secure.

Caring for your Akagane katana

Keep the steel dry and follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above. Avoid soaking the rayskin scabbard or applying household furniture polish to it. Keep blade oil off the red cotton and cord, and use a soft dry cloth for surface dust.

Akagane katana questions

Is the scabbard really covered in rayskin?

Yes. The specification lists genuine rayskin over a solid wood core. The gray granular surface is the main visual feature of this saya.

Is there genuine rayskin on the handle too?

Yes. Genuine rayskin sits beneath the red cotton ito as well as covering the saya. The outer handle wrapping itself is cotton.

Does Akagane have a red blade?

No. The blade has a dark polished appearance with an amber-toned wave pattern. Red is used on the handle wrapping and braided cord.

What causes the amber tone near the collar?

The photos show a warm amber tone in that area. Its exact finishing process is not confirmed, so it is not described as proof of a particular heat-treatment or coating method.

What are the guard and collar made from?

The circular guard is iron with curved cutouts and a dark finish. The habaki, the collar beside the blade, is copper.

Where is buffalo horn used?

The specification lists buffalo horn for the kashira and kojiri, the handle-end cap and scabbard-tip fitting. The saya body remains wood covered in rayskin.

Is the Akagane katana sharp?

Yes. Its T10 steel blade is sharpened and full tang. It is sold for collection and display and needs careful handling during setup and maintenance.

What are the dimensions and included items?

The sword is 105 cm overall, with a 72 cm blade and 30 cm handle. The rayskin-wrapped saya and horn-style bronze stand are included.
