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.

Damascus hamon / copper-colored saya / Kogarashi

Kogarashi Damascus Katana with a Copper-Colored Saya

Kogarashi brings together warm brown wrapping, copper-colored lacquer and a polished silver blade. The scabbard has a fine speckled appearance, with dark horn fittings at its ends. Along the steel, the grain and irregular hamon offer a different kind of detail. The colors stay warm and quiet, leaving the closer details for you to discover.

The blade

Damascus steel with a clay-tempered hamon

Kogarashi is specified with Damascus steel and an authentic clay-tempered hamon. The close-up shows fine grain across the blade beside the irregular line near its edge. These are separate details: the steel pattern covers the face, while the hamon follows the cutting edge. The blade is listed at 72 cm, sharpened and full tang, with a chu-kissaki point.

The fittings

Copper-colored lacquer with horn fittings

The saya is lacquered wood with a warm metallic, finely speckled finish. Genuine horn is listed at both the mouth, or koiguchi, and the tip, or kojiri. Brown cotton cord repeats the handle color. On the tsuka, brown braided cotton forms diamond-shaped openings over genuine rayskin. A dark copper guard with warm-toned ornament and a textured brass collar complete the fittings.

Warm tones around different steel specifications

For a darker scabbard with copper-colored branching decoration, compare the T10 Enbanaito katana. For a pale cream saya and brown wrapping, see Shizukesa. Kogarashi keeps its own look through the copper-toned scabbard and brown cotton, while its specification pairs Damascus steel with clay tempering.

In your collection

Bring out the lacquer texture with side lighting

The matching saya and an ornate display stand are included. Light from the side helps show the fine texture in the copper-colored finish and the darker horn fittings. Place the sword where its 105 cm overall length has enough clearance, with the sharp blade securely supported if displayed outside the saya.

Caring for your Kogarashi katana

Keep the blade dry and follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above. Wipe the saya and horn fittings gently with a soft cloth. Avoid soaking the handle or horn, and keep blade oil away from the brown cotton. Abrasive metal polish should not be used on the colored lacquer.

Kogarashi katana questions

Does Kogarashi have a genuine hamon?

The specification lists an authentic clay-tempered hamon. The close-up shows its irregular line near the cutting edge, beside the Damascus grain on the blade face.

Are Damascus grain and hamon the same thing?

No. They describe different features on this blade. The grain is the visible steel pattern; the hamon is the line along the edge. The steel guide explains these terms in more detail.

Is the copper-colored saya made from metal?

It is lacquered wood with a copper-colored metallic finish. The small speckles visible in the photos belong to the scabbard finish.

Where are the horn fittings?

Genuine horn is listed at the mouth of the saya, called the koiguchi, and at its tip, called the kojiri. These form the dark ends of the copper-colored scabbard.

What does the braided handle wrapping look like?

Brown braided cotton crosses over genuine rayskin and leaves diamond-shaped openings. The braid describes the texture of the cotton; the wrapping still has the crossed pattern shown in the photos.

How does Kogarashi compare with Enbanaito?

Kogarashi combines Damascus steel, a copper-colored saya and brown cotton. Enbanaito lists T10 steel with black lacquer, copper-colored branching decoration and a peach-and-white cord. Both specify an authentic clay-tempered hamon.

How large is it, and does it come with a stand?

The listed dimensions are 105 cm overall, a 72 cm blade and a 30 cm handle. A matching saya and ornate wooden display stand are included.

Is Kogarashi sharp?

Yes. It is a sharpened, full-tang sword sold for collection and display. Keep the edge secure and handle it carefully when cleaning or changing the display.

Good sword, small issue on arrival

Saya mouth was slightly loose when I got it, fitting tape sorted it. Balance is great though. People at my dojo always ask about it.

Way better than I expected

Hamon is clean, handle wrap tight, saya closes solid. Came in a wooden box. No complaints at all for the price.

Nice blade but took 2 weeks to arrive

Damascus looks great. Shipping to Portland took forever and tracking was dead for a week. Quality is there, logistics need work.
