T10 Folded Clay Tempered Katana with Teal Ito Wrap and Green Sparkle Saya - Snake Tsuba Full Tang Sword

This T10 carbon steel katana features a folded, clay tempered blade measuring 28.74 inches. The clay tempering process creates a differential hardness across the steel, producing a genuine hamon line that traces an organic wave pattern along the edge. Hardened to 58 HRC, the blade holds a hand-finished edge with a bright chrome polish that contrasts against the subtle grain texture from the folding process. If you are exploring Clay Tempered Carbon Steel Sword options, this piece delivers both visual depth and structural integrity.

The 10.23-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped in authentic white rayskin for grip texture. Over the samegawa, teal-blue cotton ito is laced in a traditional diamond pattern, secured tightly to prevent any shift during handling. A matching teal sageo cord is knotted neatly at the kurikata, completing the coordinated color scheme.

At the junction of blade and handle sits an alloy snake-theme tsuba finished in warm antique bronze tones. The guard features sinuous sculptural forms wrapping around a central circular mon medallion, creating a three-dimensional effect that catches light from multiple angles. The fuchi and kashira echo the same bronze palette, tying the fittings together visually.

The 30.7-inch hardwood saya is finished in a deep piano lacquer embedded with fine green metallic sparkle particles. Under direct light the surface shimmers with a galaxy-like depth, while in softer lighting it reads as a rich dark teal-green. The glossy lacquer finish protects the wood and adds a luxurious weight to the presentation.

Overall this katana measures 40.94 inches in length and weighs 4.4 lbs, built with full tang construction secured through the handle with mekugi pins. The teal, green, and antique bronze color palette gives this piece a distinctive identity well suited for collectors seeking something beyond traditional black-and-red setups.
