Product Details

This katana features a clay tempered T10 carbon steel blade spanning 28.3 inches with a chrome-polished finish. The clay tempering process produces a visible hamon line along the edge - a natural result of differential hardening that brings the cutting edge to 60 HRC while keeping the spine resilient. The full tang construction runs the entire length of the handle, secured for structural integrity. Among T10 Katana Sword options, this piece delivers both authentic craftsmanship and visual impact.

The 10.2-inch handle is built on a hardwood core wrapped in PU white samegawa, then finished with blue cotton ito in a traditional diamond-cross pattern. The white samegawa peeks through the blue cord at regular intervals, creating a clean geometric contrast that catches the eye. The grip profile fills the hand naturally and the cord tension stays firm throughout.

At the junction of blade and handle sits a black alloy tsuba with an open flower design. Four semi-circular cutouts form the petal shapes, with small gold-toned accents at the base near the seppa. This floral motif balances negative space and solid form, giving the guard a layered, dimensional look that stands apart from more common tsuba patterns.

The saya is crafted from hardwood with a smooth matte black finish that runs the full 30.3 inches. A blue sageo cord is tied in a traditional knot around the kurikata, matching the ito wrapping on the handle. The dark saya and blue cord pairing keeps the overall theme consistent from tip to pommel. This katana is also part of our broader Clay Tempered Samurai Swords collection for those interested in differential hardening techniques.

With an overall length of 40.5 inches and a weight of 2.55 lbs, this katana is proportioned in line with traditional Japanese sword dimensions. The blue-and-black color scheme, open flower tsuba, and clay tempered hamon give it a distinct identity suited for display, collection, or study of Japanese sword aesthetics.

  • Clay tempered T10 carbon steel blade at 60 HRC hardness with a visible hamon line, full tang construction, and a 28.3-inch nagasa with chrome polish finish.
  • Blue cotton ito wrapping over PU white samegawa on a 10.2-inch hardwood handle, providing a secure and comfortable grip with classic diamond-pattern tsukamaki.
  • Black alloy tsuba featuring an open flower motif with four semi-circle cutouts accented by gold detailing, adding both visual depth and structural protection.
  • Black matte hardwood saya measuring 30.3 inches with matching blue sageo cord, creating a cohesive blue-and-black color theme across the entire katana.
  • Overall length of 40.5 inches with a total weight of 2.55 lbs, balanced for display and collection as a traditionally styled Japanese katana replica.

Well made, solid, tight. Weight and balance feel good. I like it very much. Blade is sharp but not razor sharp ) which is how I like it for practicing. I especially like that it has an iron tsuba.

Have not tested it out, but out of the box it looks great, just like the pictures. Feels like excellent craftsmanship, the only reason why I gave 4 stars and not 5 is because there's about a 3 inch section of the blade that is not sharpened properly. Cuts paper decently well but when it hits the dull section it tears. Will have to touch it up on the wet stone. For the price it's a great katana especially if it's true t10 steel that's properly forged/hardened.
