T10 Folded Clay Tempered Katana with Real Hamon in Black Pearl Rayskin Saya - Gold Floral Tsuba

This katana features a 27.5-inch nagasa forged from T10 carbon steel through a folded and clay tempered process. Clay tempering produces a genuine hamon temper line along the edge - a natural result of differential hardening that hardens the edge to 60 HRC while keeping the spine flexible. The chrome-toned blade surface reveals subtle grain from the folding process, and the hand-finished edge runs the full length of the curvature.

The 10.2-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core and wrapped in authentic white samegawa (rayskin) for grip texture and durability. Black cotton ito cord is tightly wound over the samegawa in a traditional crosshatch pattern, providing a secure hold and a clean contrast against the white panels beneath. This T10 Steel Katana maintains full tang construction throughout the handle.

At the junction of blade and handle sits an alloy tsuba decorated with a dimensional floral motif. The sculpted petals and leaves carry gold and silver gilding across their surfaces, while a copper habaki collar and fuchi ring frame the guard with warm metallic tones. The bottom detail photos reveal the layered depth of the floral carving, with darkened recesses that give the design strong visual contrast.

The saya is crafted from hardwood with a matte black finish that mimics the look of pearl rayskin - a fine granular texture visible in the close-up images. A blue-white braided sageo cord is tied at the kurikata in a traditional knot, adding a crisp color accent against the dark scabbard. The koiguchi fits snugly around the habaki for a secure draw and sheathe.

At 41.5 inches overall and 3 lbs in weight, this katana balances presence with manageability. The combination of clay tempered T10 steel, real samegawa, gilded floral tsuba, and textured black saya makes it a detailed Samurai Sword Replica suited for display or collection. Every fitting is assembled by hand, from the pinned mekugi through the kashira endcap.
