Product Details
This katana features a 28.3-inch nagasa forged from T10 carbon steel and clay tempered to achieve a genuine hamon line along the edge. The clay tempering process creates differential hardness - reaching 60 HRC at the cutting edge while maintaining flexibility through the spine. The result is a visible, organic temper line that follows the curvature of the blade with natural variation.
The 10.2-inch tsuka is wrapped in brown ito cord over authentic white samegawa, providing a secure and textured grip. The wrap pattern is tight and uniform, and the black-and-white braided sageo tied at the kurikata adds a striking visual accent against the warm tones of the handle and saya.
At the heart of the koshirae sits a gold-toned alloy tsuba with a sculpted tiger figure set against an openwork lattice background. The tiger motif is rendered in high relief with fine detailing on the fur and posture, making it a standout feature among T10 Katana builds.
The saya is crafted from natural hardwood with its grain left exposed, giving it an organic, warm brown appearance with subtle wood texture. At 30.3 inches, it houses the blade securely with a fitted habaki seat. The unfinished surface sets this piece apart from lacquered alternatives.
Overall, this katana measures 40.5 inches in length and weighs 2.65 lbs. The full tang construction runs through the entire handle, secured with mekugi pins. Every component - from the clay tempered T10 blade to the tiger tsuba and natural saya - is assembled by hand, placing it firmly within the tradition of Real Japanese Katana craftsmanship.
