Crimson Shadow Katana – Traditional display sword with tanto blade

This decorative katana features a 104cm overall length with distinctive red and black styling. The blade utilises Q235 steel construction with a tanto point profile and plain-edge finish. Weighing 1.3kg, this display piece combines traditional Japanese sword aesthetics with modern decorative appeal.

Construction and materials

The blade measures 73.7cm in length and is manufactured from Q235 steel (A3), a carbon steel grade commonly used in decorative swords. The black finish with red accent detailing creates the signature "Crimson Shadow" appearance. The tanto-style blade geometry features the characteristic angular transition near the tip, typical of this traditional Japanese blade pattern.

Application and use

Designed exclusively for display and collection purposes, this katana serves as a decorative piece for wall mounting or stand presentation. The forward balance point and substantial weight provide stable positioning when exhibited. Not intended for martial arts training, cutting practice, or demonstration use.

Integration and compatibility

Compatible with standard katana display stands and wall-mounting brackets designed for 104cm length swords. The 1.3kg weight requires appropriate mounting hardware rated for this load. Consider horizontal or angled display orientations to showcase the tanto blade profile and colour contrast effectively.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The Q235 steel blade requires regular maintenance to prevent oxidation. Apply light weapon oil monthly and store in low-humidity environments. Dust weekly using appropriate cleaning cloths. With proper care, the decorative finish and steel components maintain their appearance for extended display periods.
