T10 Clay Tempered Japanese Katana with Real Hamon - Gold Cloud Tsuba, Brown Hardwood Saya

This handmade Japanese katana is forged from T10 carbon steel using the traditional clay tempering process. The differential hardening creates a distinctive real hamon line along the blade - not wire-brushed or printed, but a genuine result of the quenching process that yields 60 HRC edge hardness. The 28.3-inch blade is hand polished to a chrome finish, revealing the natural grain of the steel.

The gold and silver plated alloy tsuba features a refined cloud motif, a classic design element drawn from Japanese metalwork tradition. Matching copper fittings - including the fuchi, kashira, and habaki - tie the aesthetic together with warm metallic tones that complement the brown hardwood saya below.

Beneath the black cotton ito wrap, white ray skin (samegawa) provides the foundation grip layer, following the same construction sequence used in traditionally mounted T10 katana. The full tang extends through the entire 10.2-inch handle, secured for structural integrity and balanced at 3.0 lbs overall.

The saya is carved from natural hardwood with a smooth, unfinished surface that showcases the wood grain. A black sageo cord wraps the kurikata for traditional carry and display mounting. At 40.5 inches overall, this katana presents well on a wall mount or in a display cabinet.

Every component - from the clay tempered blade to the plated fittings - is assembled and finished by hand. Backed by verified buyer reviews, this real katana delivers the craftsmanship and materials that collectors expect from a traditionally constructed Japanese sword. 5-star rated by customers who value authentic forging techniques and premium materials.
