Guren Katana 紅蓮 is one of the most striking blades in our collection. Its name — meaning "crimson lotus," the colour the old swordsmiths gave to a raging flame — is written into every detail: a San-Mai "Red Roast" blade glowing with warm copper tones, dragon-engraved copper fittings, and a saya finished in deep marbled lacquer of red, gold and ember black. This is a sword built to look like fire caught in steel.

SPECIFICATIONS

Blade Material San-Mai (Red Roast) — three-layer laminated construction with a hard high-carbon cutting edge folded between two softer flanks, finished in a warm reddish "roasted" tone that brings out a flowing wood-grain hada
Equipment Copper Fittings — dragon-engraved habaki and copper accents
Overall Length 103 cm (40.6")
Blade Length 71 cm (28.0")
Handle Length 27 cm (10.6")
Blade Width 3.2 cm (1.26")

DESCRIPTION

The 紅蓮 — Guren Katana is named after the crimson lotus, a flower the old poets used to describe the heart of a raging fire. One look at the blade explains the choice. Forged in San-Mai lamination and given a "Red Roast" finish, the steel glows with deep copper and amber tones, while the flowing wood-grain hada ripples down its length like embers moving under ash.

San-Mai construction places a hard, high-carbon cutting core between two softer outer layers. The result is the best of both worlds — an edge that holds keenly and flanks that absorb shock and resist breaking — the same logic master smiths have used for centuries, here wrapped in a finish you simply do not see on an ordinary katana.

The koshirae carries the fire theme from end to end. The saya is hand-finished in a marbled lacquer of crimson, gold and black that shifts in the light, so no two scabbards are ever identical. An iron tsuba pierced with gold dragons and framed by a silver cloud-engraved rim guards the blade, paired with a dragon-engraved copper habaki. The tsuka is wrapped in black ito over genuine white samegawa rayskin, finishing the sword with a clean, classic grip.

Full-tang and built to the same exacting standards as every blade in this line, the 紅蓮 — Guren Katana is a collector's statement first and a cutter second. Available sharpened for tameshigiri or left unsharpened for display, with optional hand engraving. The Blade of the Crimson Flame.

Just Spectacular
Format: Kindle
I just read seven issues in one sitting and turned to my husband and told him I was sad because I just read an amazing new comic but I finished it and now I have to wait for more. This story is hard to explain, or stick in any particular comic niche. There's hitmen, vampires, ghosts, teenagers performing Sweeney Todd as their school play, apocalyptic dilemmas, addiction, redemption and a talking mole. Just wow. The art is really crisp, colorful and clean. If you liked Middlewest, I think you'll love this. Looking forward to more from these creators.

Great characters, great art, too many loose ends
Format: Paperback
I want to love it; it has great art and realistic characters in a interesting setting, but even by the end of the first volume I was left with nothing but questions. I feel like nothing ever got explained and it took away from the quality of the comic. I'm sure if I continue reading I will get the answers I want, but it feels like the pacing of the story is just a little off. Still a stellar comic.

Can't get past the art
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book blind, knowing nothing about the creators and with no expectations. While I thought the story was interesting and generally well-executed, sometimes the intrusion of the writer's thoughts, the attempts to break the fourth wall, and the wink-wink, nudge-nudge gags at the fans grow tiresome. But the writing is the strength compared to the art, which in my opinion is poor at best. The artist lacks anatomical skills, perspective skills -- the art almost never fills the frame. The splash pages are underwhelming because the figures are so small. Even the parts of the story that are supposed to be "cartoony" (the 5th dimension), which might better fit this artist's abilities, don't work. I really feel this could have been a significantly better product with a different artist.
