To obtain the Crimson's Edge Long Katana, you must complete the Nobutsuna's Students side quest. The mission requires Yasuke to search for six of Nobutsuna's former students and duel them. Once you have finished all six battles, you return to Nobutsuna's mansion for a sequence called A Cup of Tea. Then, the final battle is in store.

Facing Sanada Masatoyo

The final step in obtaining Crimson's Edge is killing Sanada Masatoyo in a duel. He can be found in Suzuka Foothills in the Omi province, more precisely by the eastern banks of Lake Biwa. Masatoyo is Nobutsuna's most powerful student, so this will not be a casual fight.
