Product Details
The nagasa on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel through a combination of folding and clay tempering. Folding refines the grain structure of the steel, while differential clay tempering produces a genuine hamon - a visible wavy temper line that runs the length of the 28.34-inch edge. The result is a hardened cutting edge at 60 HRC paired with a more resilient spine, a hallmark of traditional Japanese swordsmithing found across our Clay Tempered Katana Sword collection.
The tsuka measures 10.23 inches and is built over a full tang core. Genuine black samegawa rayskin sits beneath tightly wound black cotton ito, creating a firm grip surface with visible diamond patterns. The menuki sit flush under the wrap, and the overall construction keeps the sword's center of balance close to the tsuba for controlled handling.
The tsuba is crafted from alloy in a dark finish, featuring a sculpted floral motif with layered petals across the guard face. A brass-toned habaki collar seats the tsuba firmly against the blade, and the contrast between the gold collar and black guard adds a subtle accent to the fitting assembly.
The saya is carved from hardwood and finished with piano lacquer beneath an intricate golden silk thread overlay. The thread wraps across the entire scabbard surface in a random organic pattern, giving the saya a textured, almost vine-like appearance against the dark lacquered base. A black sageo cord is tied at the kurikata for traditional carry. This distinct finish sets the piece apart from standard lacquered scabbards.
At 41 inches overall and 2.2 lbs, this T10 Katana balances collectible craftsmanship with authentic forging methods. The combination of folded T10 steel, real hamon, floral alloy tsuba, and silk thread-wrapped saya makes it a standout display piece with genuine swordsmithing heritage behind every detail.
