Product Details

This full tang katana features a 28.3-inch blade forged from T10 carbon steel and refined through clay tempering to achieve a hardness of 60 HRC. The process produces a real hamon temper line that runs along the edge in an irregular wave pattern, clearly visible against the polished chrome finish of the steel. The blade tip is hand-finished to a clean, defined point that showcases the density and grain structure of the folded T10 material.

The 10.2-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped first in genuine white samegawa, then bound with black cotton cord in a traditional diamond pattern. The white ray skin peeks through at even intervals, providing both visual contrast and a textured grip surface beneath the cord. This T10 Katana maintains the classic handle proportions suited for two-handed use.

A black alloy round tsuba sits between blade and handle, framed by a brass-colored fuchi and a brass habaki collar at the blade's base. The warm brass tones create a striking accent against the otherwise monochrome black-and-silver palette of the sword, drawing the eye to the transition point where steel meets handle.

The hardwood saya measures 30.3 inches and is coated in a dark crackle-pattern lacquer that gives it a textured, aged appearance with fine gold-toned veining throughout. A black sageo cord is tied at the kurikata, and the overall finish pairs naturally with the sword's restrained color scheme. This scabbard style sets it apart from standard glossy lacquer options.

At 2.65 lbs total and 40.5 inches in length, this samurai sword replica balances presence with manageable weight. Every fitting - from the brass habaki to the crackle saya - is assembled by hand, making it a detailed collectible piece for display or collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What steel and hardness does this T10 katana have?
This katana is forged from T10 carbon steel that has been clay tempered to reach 60 HRC hardness. The clay tempering process creates a real hamon temper line visible along the blade edge, with a differential hardness between spine and edge for structural resilience.
Is this katana full tang with a real hamon line?
Yes, the blade is full tang with the steel extending through the entire handle length. The hamon is a genuine temper line produced by clay tempering - not etched or cosmetic - running in an irregular wave pattern along the 28.3-inch blade.
What is the crackle pattern on the saya made from?
The saya is carved from hardwood and finished with a natural lacquer that produces a dark crackle pattern with fine gold-toned veining. This textured finish gives each scabbard a unique look, paired with a black sageo cord and brass-toned habaki collar at the mouth.

Both items that I ordered from your company came true to form! They were beautiful authentic and finally handcrafted. Thank you very much. Also, do you make mantle or wall mounts to hold the swords?
