Distinctive Red Blade Presentation

The blade uses a decorative red surface treatment that shifts from dark crimson to purple-red under different lighting conditions. A contrasting wave-like detail runs along the blade, creating a strong visual separation between the body of the blade and its polished edge area.

The supplied information does not identify the exact coating or coloration method. The finish should therefore be described as decorative surface treatment rather than titanium plating, traditional bluing, or clay-tempered hamon.

Tang-Inspired Design

The long straight blade, compact guard, extended wrapped handle, and restrained black-and-silver mountings draw inspiration from modern interpretations of Tang-era Chinese swords. This is a newly made, Tang-inspired collector sword rather than a certified reproduction of a specific historical artifact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the blade made from high manganese steel?

Yes. The supplied specification identifies the blade material as high manganese steel.

Is the red color natural steel grain?

No. The red appearance is created through a decorative surface treatment rather than natural folded-steel grain.

Is the wave pattern a natural hamon?

The supplied information does not confirm clay tempering or differential hardening. It should therefore be treated as a decorative wave-pattern detail, not a verified natural hamon.

Is the scabbard made from solid leather?

No. The scabbard has a solid wood core wrapped in black synthetic leather.

Does the listed 1.6 kg represent the sword's net weight?

No. The supplied specification identifies 1.6 kg as the approximate package weight, including packaging materials.

Is the wooden display stand included?

No. The display stand shown in the product photography is not included.
