lacquer finish on a deep brown base — fine gold-toned metallic flecks suspended throughout the lacquer layer, creating a warm, shimmering surface. Brown is a warmer and rarer base color than the standard black, giving the metallic particles a different quality: where black ground makes gold particles read as starlight against darkness, the brown ground gives them the quality of sunlight through aged wood, warm and continuous. The sageo — in brown, white, and red twisted cotton — completes an earthy, warm palette that sets this sword apart from both the all-black standard and the more dramatic red or green variants.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhich pages are closest for comparison?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"faq-body\"\u003eCompare it with Buddha, Ghost Buster, and other standard Katana pages when color, handle proportion, and theme matter.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:28px;padding:16px;background:#f8f8f8;border-radius:4px;font-size:13px;color:#555;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#1c1b1b;\"\u003eContact Us\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e✉ sales@handmadesword.com    ☎ 909-480-4866\u003cbr\u003eMon–Fri 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM PST\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Handmade Sword","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31708029976641,"sku":"991","price":332.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/8397\/2417\/files\/991-1.jpg?v=1776331042","url":"https:\/\/www.handmadesword.com\/products\/peony-katana-1045-carbon-steel-long-handle-hand-forged-full-tang-battle-ready","provider":"Handmade Sword","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
