Auspicious Dragon Katana – Folded Damascus Steel Red Gold Dragon Saya Black Red Tsuka Silver Tsuba Samurai Sword
Product Introduction
The Auspicious Dragon Katana is festival lucky red oriental dragon themed full-size samurai sword, fully differentiated from spray ocean wave damascus blade, vine floral, clover flower and pine crane sword series. Centered on festive bright red lacquer scabbard printed golden auspicious dragon & cloud wave pattern, matched full silver cloud dragon alloy fittings, it targets new year gift collectors, red themed study decor, wedding & blessing oriental art presents.
The blade adopts multi-layer hand folded Damascus pattern steel, naturally forming unique continuous water ripple grain after multi-stage mirror polishing, standard shinogi-zukuri profile without blood groove, smooth classic kissaki tip, subtle yokote dividing line and factory light sharp edge. Each folded steel blade owns unrepeatable grain texture, which is fragile and easy to scratch; only slow static drawing viewing is allowed, heavy cutting and violent friction are strictly prohibited to protect exclusive damascus grain.
The full mounting hardware is matte silver alloy with cloud and auspicious dragon relief carving, irregular circular hollow tsuba, cloud patterned fuchi & kashira, tiny cloud mini menuki ornaments and patterned solid raw copper habaki/seppa washers. The oval imogata grip uses bright red dotted ray skin inner lining wrapped with thick black moro-hineri cotton ito. Scabbard is solid hardwood coated high-gloss festive red lacquer, hand printed full-body golden auspicious dragon and sea wave landscape, matched thick golden yellow tassel braided sage cord. Equipped with two natural bamboo mekugi pegs to form fully removable full tang, convenient for regular blade anti-rust maintenance. A red dragon themed fabric storage bag is provided as free gift; custom golden dragon blade engraving upgrade available for extra charge.
