Shinwa Black Serpent Katana | 28 1/4” Damascus steel blade | 39 1/2” overall | black lacquered wooden scabbard included

The Shinwa Black Serpent Katana is a masterfully crafted sword that fuses traditional Japanese design with bold, serpentine aesthetics. At its core is a 28 1/4” hand-forged Damascus steel blade, created using time-honored techniques to deliver an exceptionally keen edge and mesmerizing wave-like patterns. A polished brass habaki offers a smooth transition from blade to handle, reinforcing both the structure and beauty of the sword. The handle features a traditional black cord wrap over white faux rayskin, with matching snake-themed menuki for added grip and visual intrigue. This katana stands out with its antique bronze-finished tsuba, intricately sculpted in the image of a coiled serpent. Every detail—from the matching pommel and collar to the scabbard’s elegant black lacquer finish—has been thoughtfully designed for collectors who appreciate artistry and symbolism. Measuring 39 1/2” overall, the Shinwa Black Serpent Katana comes housed in a wooden scabbard wrapped in black cord accents, making it as suitable for display as it is for handling. It’s a powerful addition to any serious sword collection.
