Dragon Katana | Brown | Musashi – Traditional decorative Japanese sword

This katana is a decorative sword featuring traditional Japanese styling with a red finish and brass accents. The blade measures 69.85cm with a total length of 101cm, crafted from 1060 carbon steel in a tanto blade profile.

Construction and materials

The blade is made from carbon steel with a plain edge and traditional fuller groove. The handle features ray skin wrap with heavy cord wrapping, while the wooden scabbard has a red lacquered finish. Brass fittings include the tsuba (guard), habaki (blade collar), and tsuka (handle) elements.

Application and use

This katana serves as a display piece for collectors of Japanese culture, martial arts enthusiasts, or Asian art collectors. It functions purely as a decorative item and is not intended for training, cutting practice, or practical use. The sword includes mounting options for wall display or stand presentation.

Integration and compatibility

The katana comes with a matching wooden scabbard (saya) designed specifically for this tanto-style blade. Standard sword display stands accommodate the 101cm total length. The traditional tang construction allows for handle disassembly if needed for maintenance or inspection.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The carbon steel blade requires regular maintenance to prevent rust. Clean with a soft cloth and apply light oil periodically. Store in the scabbard when not displayed, keeping the environment dry. The lacquered finish on the scabbard maintains its appearance with minimal care.
