Product Details

This katana features a 28.3-inch nagasa forged from T10 carbon steel that has been clay tempered to produce a distinctive real hamon line visible along the full length of the blade. The differential hardening process brings the edge to 60 HRC while keeping the spine more flexible, and the polished surface highlights the subtle grain variations created during folding. Every curve of the blade reflects the deliberate hand-finishing that defines a traditionally crafted T10 Katana Sword.

The 10.2-inch tsuka is built on a full tang core, wrapped in genuine white samegawa beneath tightly wound black cotton ito in a traditional diamond pattern. Gold-tone menuki sit beneath the wrap, adding both grip texture and visual interest. The assembly feels balanced and secure, with the handle proportioned to complement the nagasa length.

At the center of the sword sits an ornate alloy tsuba finished in black with layered concentric rings of gold dots radiating outward from a pierced openwork center. The gold-tone habaki and fuchi-kashira echo this color palette, tying the fittings together in a cohesive dark-and-gold theme that adds richness without excess.

The saya is crafted from natural hardwood with a warm brown grain visible through the finish, giving each scabbard a one-of-a-kind character. A dark brown thread wrapping covers the upper section near the koiguchi, and a black braided sageo is tied at the kurikata, completing the understated organic aesthetic. This style of natural wood saya is a hallmark of Clay Tempered Carbon Steel Sword collectibles that prioritize authenticity.

With an overall length of 40.5 inches and a weight of 2.85 lbs, this katana is a full-size replica built to traditional proportions. The combination of clay tempered T10 steel, hand-wrapped tsuka, and natural hardwood saya makes it a compelling display piece for collectors who value craftsmanship and material quality over surface decoration.

Fantastic Katana. Not only the strength of the blade, but the look and quality. Great purchase and if you're curious about shipping time, I ordered two katanas and got them both in under 2 weeks. Very quick.
