Every surface of this katana is black. Black blade, black scabbard, black cord, black ray-skin wrap. In a catalog where most katana use color contrast to stand out, this one does the opposite and commits fully to a single dark palette. The result is a katana that looks like it was designed to disappear into shadow, and that visual restraint is exactly what makes it impossible to ignore on a display wall. The blade is T10 carbon steel, clay tempered to produce a real hamon line along the edge. Clay tempering is a traditional Japanese technique where clay is applied unevenly to the blade before heat treatment. The thinner clay near the edge cools faster during quenching, creating a harder edge zone, while the thicker clay along the spine reta ...

Every surface of this katana is black. Black blade, black scabbard, black cord, black ray-skin wrap. In a catalog where most katana use color contrast to stand out, this one does the opposite and commits fully to a single dark palette. The result is a katana that looks like it was designed to disappear into shadow, and that visual restraint is exactly what makes it impossible to ignore on a display wall.
The blade is T10 carbon steel, clay tempered to produce a real hamon line along the edge. Clay tempering is a traditional Japanese technique where clay is applied unevenly to the blade before heat treatment. The thinner clay near the edge cools faster during quenching, creating a harder edge zone, while the thicker clay along the spine retains more flexibility. The visible boundary between these two zones is the hamon, and on a polished T10 blade it appears as an organic, wavelike line that catches light differently depending on the angle. Each blade produces a unique hamon pattern because the clay application is done by hand. T10 steel is a high-carbon tool steel with added tungsten, which gives it better wear resistance and edge retention compared to the more common 1045 carbon steel used in most collectible katana replicas.
The butterfly theme alloy tsuba is the design centerpiece. While most katana at this price range use simple round or square guards, the butterfly motif adds an artistic element that elevates the entire piece. Combined with the black-on-black color scheme, it creates an interesting contrast between the organic, delicate butterfly shapes and the stark, monochromatic blade.
This specific product has moved 222 units, making it one of TrueKatana's most established collectible pieces. The all-black aesthetic appeals to collectors who want a katana that reads as refined rather than decorative, serious rather than flashy. It works equally well as a standalone wall display or as the anchor piece in a multi-sword collection where other katana provide the color.
Includes black hardwood scabbard. Stand not included. Free US shipping and 30-day money-back guarantee.

Honest feedback: My first ever katana. Beautiful craftsmanship. Does look exactly like the image online, and an intense feeling of caution and anxiety occurs when I unsheathe the blade. Hilarious, but highly important instruction/liability manual......DO NOT LICK THE BLADE. DO NOT CHOP VEGETABLES WITH THE BLADE. I can only image some of the cases.

I thought the blade was going to be a natural color and not black.
Slightly disappointed.

It came in within a week, the blade was so sharp I accidently cut my finger testing it. Quality is okay for the price, visually it looks good and if you take care of it should last a long time.

Strong, sharp, high quality blade. I have 2 problems with it though. The first is the blade is slightly bent/warped to one side. It's not enough to be noticeable upon first inspection, but I eventually did notice it. My second problem is that the painted bits on the guard are a little bit sloppy, but once again not too noticeable and is to be expected on 200-300 dollar sword.

Overall very high quality blade for the price.
