Code Red is a katana with an aggressive and raw expression, designed with a focus on the blade's visual character and craftsmanship. The blade is forged from T10 high carbon steel with differential clay hardening that highlights the hamon line.
The stone pattern on the back of the blade is a visual surface texture that appears through forging and grinding.
The handle (tsuka) is wrapped with red ito over genuine stingray leather, mounted in a traditional diamond pattern. The fittings consist of copper-based details with silver and gold-colored finishes, richly decorated but balanced in the overall look.
The saya (sheath) is made of lacquered wood with a decorative carved motif, which complements the sword's visual identity.
