T10 Carbon Steel Katana with Real Hamon - Dragon-Engraved Black-Brown Hardwood Saya, Gold-Black Tsuba
- Forged from T10 carbon steel with a hand-polished finish, this katana features a visible real hamon line - the defining mark of a properly heat-treated and oil-quenched blade.
- Full tang construction runs the entire length of the tsuka, secured beneath genuine black ray-skin (samegawa) wrapped tightly in traditional black cord (ito) for a firm, balanced grip.
- The gold-black iron tsuba carries an intricate dragon motif with openwork detailing - the gold accents contrast sharply against the dark ground for a striking visual focal point.
- The hardwood saya is finished in black-brown lacquer and hand-painted with a flowing dragon design in dark amber and rust tones, visible across the full length of the scabbard.
- Black sageo cord is knotted in a traditional style at the kurigata, completing the koshirae-style fittings that unify the dark and gold color palette across handle, guard, and saya.
- Overall length 41 inches, shipping weight 4 lb - proportions consistent with a full-size katana for display or collection use.

Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel and finished with a hand-polished surface that brings out the natural grain of the steel. A real hamon line runs along the edge - produced through the heat treatment and oil quenching process - giving the blade its characteristic misty boundary between hardened edge and softer spine. This is one of the most visually distinctive features of a properly made Japanese-style blade, and on this piece it is clearly visible against the chrome-toned finish. For collectors interested in steel quality and construction, this belongs alongside other pieces in the T10 Carbon Katana category.
The tsuka is wrapped in black cotton ito over genuine black samegawa (ray skin), with the wrap pattern seated tightly in the traditional diamond formation. The full tang extends completely through the handle, held in place beneath the wrap for structural integrity. The overall grip feel is firm and well-balanced for a piece of this length.
The tsuba is cast in a gold-black finish with an openwork dragon motif - intricate carved detail fills the face of the guard, with the gold tones of the habaki and fuchi providing visual continuity between blade and handle. The dragon theme is consistent across both the tsuba and saya, giving the full koshirae set a unified design identity.
The saya (scabbard) is built from hardwood and finished in a black-brown lacquer base. Across the surface, a hand-painted dragon design runs the full length in dark amber and rust-orange tones - visible depth in the brushwork gives the saya a textured, organic appearance rather than a flat printed finish. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata in a traditional wrap style, adding the final detail to the overall presentation.
Total length is 41 inches with a shipping weight of 4 lb. The sword stand is not included. This katana is designed as a display and collection piece, with the koshirae-style fittings, real hamon blade, and hand-finished saya making it a strong centerpiece for any Japanese sword collection.
