Product Details
This black katana features a T10 steel blade shaped through clay tempering, a process that produces the distinctive hamon wave visible along the 28.34-inch cutting edge. The differential hardening brings the edge to 60 HRC while keeping the spine resilient, and the chrome-polished surface highlights the temper line with striking clarity. Every aspect of the forging process is carried out by hand, resulting in a blade with character that no machine can replicate.
The 10.62-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped first in white ray skin (samegawa) and then tightly bound with black leather cord in a traditional diamond pattern. Gold menuki peek through the wrapping, adding subtle detail while improving the tactile grip. The full tang construction ensures the handle and blade function as one solid unit, providing confidence in balance and structural integrity.
At the guard, a silver-toned alloy tsuba features a flower-themed openwork design, framed by a brass habaki collar and matching seppa washers. The warm gold tones of the brass create a deliberate contrast against the dark handle and the cool silver of the guard - a thoughtful pairing that draws the eye to the junction between blade and hilt.
The matte black hardwood saya stretches 29.52 inches and has a lightly textured surface that gives it a worn, understated look rather than a glossy finish. Black sageo cord is tied in a traditional knot at the kurikata, with a small gold-toned fitting adding one final accent. The mouth of the saya fits snugly against the habaki for a satisfying draw and return.
At 40.15 inches overall and 2.53 lbs, this Black Katana is sized and weighted in line with traditional Japanese proportions. The sharpened edge, clay-tempered hamon, and all-black color scheme make it a compelling addition to any 1060 Katana collection or display arrangement. Stand is not included.
