Distinctive Dark-Red Blade Finish

The blade uses a dark-red decorative surface treatment that appears deep burgundy, brown-red, or nearly black depending on lighting and viewing angle. The finish contrasts with the brighter edge and complements the crackle-lacquered scabbard.

The exact coloration method is not identified in the supplied specification. It should therefore be described as a decorative surface treatment rather than traditional bluing, titanium coating, clay tempering, or natural hamon.

Crackle Lacquer Wood Scabbard

The solid wood scabbard is finished in a dark-red crackle lacquer pattern that adds visible texture without overwhelming the restrained color scheme. Black cord binding near the scabbard mouth provides contrast and coordinates with the handle wrap.
