Product Details

The 29-inch blade is forged from T10 carbon steel using traditional clay tempering, producing a genuine hamon line that runs the length of the cutting edge. The folded steel construction creates subtle grain patterns visible on the surface, while the differential hardening process yields a hard edge at 58 HRC backed by a resilient spine. Full tang construction extends through the entire handle for structural integrity.

The 10.25-inch tsuka is built over genuine white samegawa (ray skin) and tightly wound with white cord in a traditional crosshatch pattern. White diamond-shaped gaps between the wraps reveal the samegawa beneath, maintaining a cohesive white aesthetic from handle to scabbard. The polyurethane leather base layer sits beneath the samegawa for added grip stability.

A gold-tone alloy tsuba with intricate openwork defines the transition between handle and blade. The guard features a deeply carved floral motif - chrysanthemum-like blooms surrounded by pierced lattice patterns - finished in an antique gold and dark patina that adds visual depth. This piece draws from the tradition found across our White T10 Carbon Steel Katana collection.

The white hardwood saya stretches 29.5 inches and is coated in premium natural lacquer with a smooth matte finish. What sets this scabbard apart is the hand-painted black-and-white figure illustration near the koiguchi - detailed portrait artwork depicting a female figure rendered in an ink-drawing style. A purple sageo cord wraps the saya's kurikata, providing a bold color contrast against the white body. Collectors of White Hardwood Japanese Samurai Swords will appreciate the artistic detail on this piece.

At 41 inches overall and 3 lbs in hand, this katana balances visual artistry with traditional construction. The white-and-purple color scheme, paired with gold-tone fittings and hand-painted saya artwork, positions it as a distinctive collector's piece suited for display or as a centerpiece in any Japanese sword collection.
