T10 Carbon Steel Katana with Hammered Hamon Blade in Black Lacquer Saya - Samurai Tsuba
- Blade is forged from T10 carbon steel with a visible hammered hamon along the edge, hand-finished to a chrome polish that highlights the steel's natural grain and temper line.

- Gold-and-silver alloy tsuba features an openwork samurai figure in relief - a hand-cast accent piece that adds cultural detail and visual contrast between handle and blade.
- Black lacquered hardwood saya is finished with a deep multi-tone surface showing amber and red flecks, secured with a brown sageo cord tied in a traditional knot at the kurigata.
- Complete koshirae fittings include matching fuchi, kashira, and menuki in coordinated tones, presenting a cohesive traditional Japanese sword assembly at 4 lbs total weight.

Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel and hand-finished with a visible hamon running along the edge. The hammered surface texture catches light at varying angles, giving the chrome-polished blade a dynamic, layered appearance that sets it apart from machine-ground alternatives. At 41 inches overall, the geometry balances reach and control in a way that reflects traditional Japanese sword proportions.

The tsuka is wrapped in brown cotton cord over white rayskin (samegawa) in a traditional diamond-pattern braid. The wrap is firm and even, with the underlying samegawa texture providing grip reinforcement under the cord. Full-tang construction runs the blade steel through the handle core, secured by a single mekugi peg for stability. Fuchi and kashira fittings are finished in coordinating tones that connect the handle to the guard without visual interruption.
The tsuba is the standout fitting on this piece - a round, openwork alloy guard cast in gold and silver tones, featuring a samurai figure rendered in relief on the face. The pierced design reduces visual weight while the raised detail gives it depth. At the transition between tsuba and tsuka, the gold habaki provides a clean, tight fit against the blade.
The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in black lacquer with visible amber and red flecks distributed across the surface, giving it a textured, multi-tone character rather than a flat solid color. A brown sageo cord is attached at the kurigata and tied in a layered knot, with a small amber bead at the junction adding a subtle accent. The Brown Scabbard Japanese Samurai Swords collection includes additional options in this color family if you are comparing saya finishes.
