Shadow Dancer Flaming Flower Purple Katana with Brass Fittings

Vibrant and majestic in hues of black, gold, and purple, Shadow Dancer’s Flaming Flower Katana is an unforgettable piece from the Nova Series— a collection which combines fantasy-inspired designs with impeccable craftsmanship, perfect as a functional or display masterpiece.

Its shinogi zukuri (ridge line runs along the blade’s length on both sides) 1095 carbon steel blade has undergone the differential hardening process, revealing a simple yet stunning suguha (straight) hamon. This construction yields an extremely sharp and keen edge that is highly desirable, even for experienced cutting practitioners.

The blackened fittings with gold highlights—including the tsuba, fuchi, kashira, and menuki—complement the gold habaki and seppa, tying in the katana’s overall design. A single mekugi secures the blade to the wooden core tsuka covered in white samegawa and wrapped tightly in black artificial silk tsuka ito for a secure and comfortable grip.

Completing the ensemble is a deep purple lacquered saya with black streaks of black and gold, giving it a striking pattern that blooms across like petals of flame.
