Hand Forged Japanese Samurai Sword Blue Flame Damascus Blued Full Tang For Sale

Presenting the “Blue Flame” (Aoi Honoo) hand forged Japanese samurai sword, a stunning fusion of traditional craftsmanship and dramatic visual appeal. This katana features a blade forged from high-quality Damascus steel with a blued finish, creating a deep, mesmerizing blue tone that flows across the layered steel patterns. The name “Blue Flame” perfectly captures the sword's appearance — like a controlled fire burning in shades of cobalt and midnight blue, with the distinctive wavy Damascus grain resembling dancing flames along the edge.

Every sword is hand forged by experienced smiths using time-honored techniques. The Damascus steel is created by folding and forge-welding multiple layers of steel, resulting in a blade that is not only beautiful but also tough and resilient. The blued finish is applied through a controlled oxidation process that enhances corrosion resistance while giving the blade its signature blue hue. This is not a paint or coating — it is a surface treatment that penetrates the steel and highlights the natural pattern of the Damascus layers. The result is a functional work of art that stands out in any collection.

The sword is built with a full tang construction, meaning the blade steel extends completely through the handle and is secured with two bamboo mekugi pegs. This traditional method guarantees maximum strength and safety, making the sword suitable for cutting practice, martial arts training, and display. The tang is properly aligned and robust, ensuring the handle will not loosen or separate under stress. Whether you are performing tameshigiri or simply admiring the sword on a stand, the full tang design provides confidence and durability.

The handle core is crafted from hard wood and wrapped with imitation ray skin (samegawa), providing a traditional textured surface for a secure grip. The tsuka is then wrapped in a tight cotton ito cord in a classic diamond pattern, offering both comfort and control. The pommel (kashira), collar (fuchi), and guard (tsuba) are all made from copper with detailed traditional motifs that complement the blue theme of the blade. The habaki (blade collar) is also copper, ensuring a precise fit inside the scabbard and adding a warm metallic accent against the cool blue steel.

The saya is made from lacquered wood, featuring a smooth, glossy finish that protects the blade from moisture, dust, and scratches. The lacquer coating is durable and elegantly matches the sword's overall aesthetic. A protective cloth sword bag is included for storage and transportation, keeping your sword safe when not on display. The total weight of approximately 1.4 kg gives the sword a balanced, substantial feel that is neither too heavy nor too light — ideal for both practical use and collection.
