T10 Steel Tachi Odachi with Real Hamon in Red Lacquer Saya - Gold Tsuba, Brown Cord Handle

The blade of this tachi odachi is hand-forged from T10 carbon steel, a high-carbon tool steel prized for its hardness and edge retention. A genuine hamon temper line runs along the length of the nagasa, its wave pattern naturally formed during the hardening process - no two lines are identical. The polished chrome-finish blade surface catches light cleanly, highlighting both the hamon detail and the subtle contour of the traditional curve.

The tsuka is wrapped in brown ito cord over a white samegawa (ray-skin) base, following the classic koshirae binding style. The alternating diamond pattern of the wrap provides structured hand contact across the full grip length, while the white samegawa panels remain visible through each opening. Full-tang construction means the blade steel extends completely through the handle, giving the assembly structural integrity.

A gold-tone alloy tsuba sits at the transition point between blade and handle. The guard features ornate scroll relief engraving across its oval face, with additional decorative motifs along the border - craftsmanship that rewards close inspection. Matching gold-accent fittings at the habaki and menuki maintain a consistent metallic theme throughout the koshirae set.

The saya is crafted from hardwood finished in deep red lacquer - a bold, high-gloss surface that defines the visual identity of this piece. A multi-strand braided sageo in orange, white, dark green, and burgundy threads through the kurigata, adding layered color to the red base. Gold-tone saya fittings at the koiguchi and kurikata echo the tsuba hardware and complete the coordinated look. For more pieces in this colorway, browse our Red Odachi collection.
