In-stock
- T10 carbon steel blade, clay tempered to 60 HRC, with a genuine hamon temper line visible along the edge - the result of traditional differential hardening that produces a harder cutting edge and a more resilient spine.
- Full tang construction with a 27.5-inch blade hand-finished to a chrome polish; the handle measures 10.2 inches and is wrapped in real white samegawa rayskin beneath a tight black cord wrap for a secure, traditional grip.
- Hardwood saya covered in genuine red pearl rayskin - the close-up reveals the dense, textured nodule pattern of authentic ray skin - paired with a black sageo cord that provides a vivid contrast to the deep red finish.
- Alloy tsuba hand-carved in a dragon and wave motif with gold-tone detailing, flanked by a copper fuchi; the openwork lattice design around the guard adds visual depth and references classic Japanese metalworking tradition.
- Overall length 41.5 inches, blade length 27.5 inches, saya length 30.3 inches, weight 3 lbs - proportions drawn from classical katana geometry for natural draw and balanced carry in the hand.

Product Details
The blade starts as T10 carbon steel - a high-carbon tool steel prized for its edge retention and grain consistency - and is hand-forged, then clay coated before the quench. That differential hardening locks the edge at 60 HRC while the spine remains elastic, and it leaves a genuine hamon temper line tracing the boundary between hard and soft steel. The chrome-polished surface catches light in long, clean reflections that make the hamon easy to read from tip to base.
At 27.5 inches of nagasa, the blade follows classical katana geometry: a pronounced sori curve and a fine kissaki tip visible in the detail shot. The full tang runs the entire length of the tsuka, anchoring handle and blade into one continuous structure rather than relying on adhesive or short rat-tail construction.
The handle wraps real white samegawa - genuine rayskin with the characteristic pebbly nodule surface - directly over the hardwood core. Black cord is then laced in a tight diamond pattern over the samegawa, the white nodes showing through the gaps at each crossing point. The result is both traditional in appearance and functional in grip.
The saya is hardwood, shaped to match the blade's curve, then wrapped in genuine red pearl rayskin. The macro photograph shows the rayskin's dense, rounded nodule field in deep crimson - a surface that is both visually striking and resistant to wear. A black sageo cord ties at the koiguchi with a looped knot, creating a sharp tonal contrast against the red body.
The alloy tsuba is cast and hand-carved in a dragon and wave composition with gold-tone finishing; a copper fuchi collar sits immediately below it. The openwork areas of the guard follow a lattice pattern that keeps the profile light without reducing structural coverage. At 3 lbs across 41.5 inches total length, the assembly balances toward the tsuba - a weight distribution consistent with classical katana design.
