T10 Steel Daisho Set Katana & Wakizashi with Dark Red Saya, Gold Tsuba & Brown Ito
- T10 carbon steel blades with a visible real hamon line, produced through a controlled heat treatment and oil quench process that develops the blade's characteristic contrast between edge and spine.
- Full tang construction on both the katana and wakizashi ensures structural integrity throughout the handle - brown cotton ito wrapping over white ray-skin (samegawa) provides a secure, traditional grip.
- Gold-tone chrysanthemum-themed tsuba on both swords adds a striking accent against the dark red lacquered hardwood saya, creating a bold warm-toned color palette across the matched set.
- Dark red hardwood lacquer saya fitted with gold-tone kojiri and koiguchi fittings, secured with gold sageo cord wrapping - the matched pair presents a unified koshirae aesthetic.
- Daisho pairing includes full-length katana (41 in overall) and shorter wakizashi, both sharing consistent fittings - total set weight 3 lb, shipping weight 4 lb in a 43 x 4 x 4 in package.

Product Details
Both blades in this daisho set are forged from T10 carbon steel and heat treated with an oil quench process that produces a genuine hamon line along each edge. The hamon - visible as a distinct wavy boundary between the hardened edge and the softer spine - is a direct result of the differential hardening process rather than a surface finish, giving each blade authentic character. The hand-finished edges and full tang construction run the full length of both handles.
The tsuka on each sword is wrapped in brown cotton ito in a traditional diamond pattern over white ray-skin (samegawa), which provides both grip texture and a clean visual contrast. The wrapping is consistent across the katana and wakizashi, maintaining the matched koshirae presentation that defines a proper daisho set.
Each sword is fitted with a gold-tone tsuba featuring a chrysanthemum motif - a classic Japanese imperial floral symbol rendered in detailed relief casting. The fuchi and kashira fittings carry the same gold tone, tying the handle hardware to the guard in a cohesive warm metallic scheme. Explore our Odachi collection for additional long-blade options in similar koshirae styles.
The saya on both swords is crafted from hardwood with a dark red lacquer finish, giving the scabbards a deep, polished appearance. Gold-tone koiguchi and kojiri fittings frame each saya at the throat and tip, while the gold sageo cord is wrapped in an elaborate decorative knot pattern - visible in detail in the product images. The dark red and gold combination is visually consistent across both pieces of the set.
The katana measures 41 inches overall with a total set weight of 3 lb. The package dimensions are 43 x 4 x 4 inches at a shipping weight of 4 lb. The sword stand shown in lifestyle images is not included. This matched daisho - combining a katana and wakizashi with unified fittings - makes a strong centerpiece for any Japanese sword collection. If you prefer a single long blade, our Nodachi collection offers comparable construction in extended formats.
