Overview
Musha Red Damascus Raiden Katana
The Musha Raiden Katana has a vibrant blade forged from folded damascus with contrasting layers of ripple-patterned red and black. The blade is both sharpened and tempered and is mounted into a hilt with an antiqued metal tsuba guard, fuchi collar and kashira pommel cap with detailing picked out in gold and silver color. The grip is crafted from wood which is inlaid with panels of genuine rayskin and bound in black cotton ito cord.
The sword comes with a wooden scabbard with a glossy black lacquer finish and a black sageo cord. Included is a cloth sword bag and a brocade fabric wrapped presentation box.
Please Note: The Damascus Blade can sometimes come in hues that are more orange-red or orange than red due to possible variation from the manufacturer.
