By purchasing from Katana Corp, you acknowledge and agree that:
For full details, please refer to our Terms of Service.
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.
For more care tips, check our full maintenance guide in the FAQ section.
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.
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 steel / black and red saya / Kurenai Kage
Thin red slashes cross the black saya of Kurenai Kage, giving the scabbard a sharp graphic pattern. The blade stays silver-colored, with visible steel grain and a long groove near the spine. Black cotton wrapping and a dark sunburst guard keep the red concentrated on the saya and braided cord. It is a black and red katana with a bright steel blade at its center.
The blade
The 72 cm Damascus steel blade shows a fine grain pattern across its polished face. A bo-hi groove runs near the spine and adds a separate straight detail beside that grain. The blade is listed as full tang and sharpened. Damascus grain and a blade groove describe different features; neither should be confused with a claim of authentic clay tempering.
The fittings
The iron-alloy guard is black, with radiating grooves forming a sunburst pattern. A circular crest sits on the brass blade collar. Black cotton wraps over synthetic rayskin on the handle, while the saya combines glossy black lacquer with diagonal red decoration. Its braided cord brings black, red and small white accents into the same area.
For red visible through the handle wrapping, look at Akanokiba, which pairs a Damascus blade with a different scabbard pattern. The Full Black katana takes a darker direction with a black blade. Kurenai Kage keeps its blade silver-colored and places the red along the saya.
In your collection
The wooden display stand and matching saya are included. Position the scabbard so its red diagonal lines face outward, then use soft side lighting to bring out the blade grain. The sword is 105 cm overall, so give the saya and handle enough clearance from nearby objects.
Dry and clean the steel after handling, following the Care & Maintenance instructions above. Wipe the lacquer with a soft cloth without scrubbing the red pattern. Keep oil away from the cotton wrapping and braided cord, and support the sharp blade securely when maintaining it.
The blade is polished silver-colored Damascus steel. Black and red refer to the fittings, lacquered saya and cord, rather than a red blade finish.
Fine grain can be seen across the blade face in the close-up. The long straight channel near the spine is a bo-hi groove, separate from that steel pattern.
No. Those are separate specifications. Kurenai Kage lists Damascus steel, but an authentic clay-tempered hamon is not specified. The steel guide explains the terminology used across the shop.
The dark iron-alloy tsuba has radiating sunburst grooves. Its round shape and ridged surface contrast with the smooth brass collar beside it.
Yes. Diagonal red lines decorate the black lacquered saya. The black, red and white cord is a separate braided sageo tied around the scabbard.
Kurenai Kage has a silver-colored Damascus blade and red decoration on its black saya. Full Black has a darker blade finish. Compare the individual product photos for their guard and handle details.
The listed overall length is 105 cm, with a 72 cm blade and 30 cm handle. A wooden display stand and matching saya are included.
Yes. Its full-tang steel blade is sharpened. It is sold for collection and display, so keep the edge secure when arranging the sword and take care during cleaning.

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.
Got it as a gift, he was speechless
Bought for my boyfriend who does iaido. He said the fit and finish were legit. I knew nothing about swords, site made it easy to pick.
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.
Third order, still no complaints
Ordered three times over two years. Always well packed, matches the photos. Support replied same day. Will keep coming back.
