Product Details
This clay tempered T10 carbon steel katana features a striking black blade with a jagged, lightning-style hamon line traced in gold along the edge. The clay tempering process produces a differential hardness of 60 HRC at the edge, while the full tang construction ensures structural integrity through the entire length. The golden hamon contrasts dramatically against the dark blade surface, creating a bold visual signature from spine to kissaki.
The 6.3-inch tsuka is wrapped in brown ito cord over white polyurethane leather samegawa, providing both a textured grip and a refined aesthetic. The cross-hatch pattern of the brown ito sits neatly against the white underlayer, and the overall handle proportions balance well with the 20.5-inch blade for a total length of 41 inches.
The alloy tsuba is a standout element, featuring an intricate relief-carved dragon design rendered in gold and silver tones. The detailed scales, claws, and flowing mane of the dragon wrap around the guard's face, framed by a scalloped gold border that catches light from every angle.
The hardwood saya is finished in a glossy orange piano lacquer that reveals a translucent, marbled depth beneath its surface. A hand-painted dragon motif in red and black adorns the lower section of the scabbard, echoing the tsuba's dragon theme. Brown and gold braided sageo cord secures neatly around the saya, tying the warm color palette together. Collectors who appreciate this style can explore more options in our Orange Saya Japanese Samurai Swords collection.
Weighing 1.5 lbs, this katana balances visual drama with thoughtful construction across every component.
