This Dragon Katana has a stronger color contrast than the plain black-saya dragon models because the red-black saya is part of the first impression. The dragon tsuba gives the mounting its close-up identity, while the 1045 carbon steel blade and bo-hi / fuller keep the blade side visually clear.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What stands out first on this Dragon Katana?
The red-black saya stands out first. It gives the sword more color contrast than a plain black-saya Dragon Katana.
What makes the fittings different?
The dragon tsuba is the main close-up detail after the saya color catches the eye.
Is the blade 1045 carbon steel?
Yes. The listed steel grade is 1045 carbon steel.
Does it have a bo-hi or fuller?
Yes. The blade is listed with a bo-hi / fuller.
What makes the scabbard (saya) on this sword special?
The saya on this katana uses a black and red piano lacquer treatment β the two colors most deeply associated with the Japanese martial aesthetic. Red has been the color of action, urgency, and the visible force of blood and fire throughout Japanese military tradition. Black is the color of authority, formality, and the unreadable. Together they create the combination most associated with displays of martial intensity: the red field visible against or through black fittings. The vivid red piano lacquer main body, set against black fittings and tied with black sageo, produces a scabbard that reads at once as ceremonially serious and visually immediate β a sword that does not allow itself to be overlooked.
How should I care for the carbon steel blade?
Keep the blade dry after handling and apply a light coat of suitable blade oil before storage.
