Product Details

The blade is forged from T10 carbon steel and hand-polished to a bright chrome finish that runs the full length of the 41-inch sword. Heat treatment and oil quenching produce a genuine hamon line - the undulating temper boundary visible along the ji is unique to each piece, shaped by the quench rather than etching or acid. The surface clarity lets every detail of that line read clearly under light. For collectors exploring this steel's characteristics, the T10 Japanese Sword collection offers additional reference pieces.

The tsuka is built on a full-tang core, wrapped first in white PU samegawa and then bound with black cord ito in the traditional diamond-knot pattern. Beneath the black ito, the orange underlayer breaks through at each opening, giving the handle an immediate visual contrast that carries through the entire mountings.

The tsuba is a round iron guard finished in gold tone, with an openwork cherry blossom design - petals and branches cut through the face of the guard in fine detail. The fuchi matches the gold hardware, keeping the transition from blade to handle visually unified.

The saya is lacquered hardwood in a deep gloss black. Black-and-orange sageo cord ties through the kurikata, picking up both handle colors and completing the two-tone theme from tsuka to scabbard. The lacquer finish is smooth and consistent, providing solid blade retention at the koiguchi.

Overall length is 41 inches and the assembled piece weighs 3 lbs. Ships in a 43 x 4 x 4-inch package at 4 lbs. Note: sword stand is not included. This katana suits collectors drawn to visible hamon work, bold two-tone fittings, and classical cherry blossom iconography in a koshirae-style mounting.

  • T10 carbon steel blade with a visible hamon line, hand-polished to a bright chrome finish along the full 41-inch length - every wave in the temper line is unique to this piece.
