Product Details

This full tang katana features a 28.5-inch blade forged from T10 carbon steel using a clay-tempered process. The differential hardening produces a natural hamon line visible along the edge, reaching 60 HRC at the cutting surface. The result is a blade with a polished chrome finish and distinct visual character that sets it apart from standard carbon steel swords.

The tsuka measures 10.25 inches and is wrapped in black cord over black PU samegawa, providing both grip texture and a clean monochrome look. The full tang construction runs through the entire handle, secured for structural integrity. This katana sits comfortably in the Black Katana tradition with its all-dark theme from tip to pommel.

At the junction of blade and handle sits an oval alloy tsuba with a weathered iron-tone finish, flanked by a gold-tone habaki collar. The gold accent catches the eye against the otherwise dark palette, and the tsuba's textured surface adds depth to the fittings. The detail work on the guard gives this piece a distinctive, almost antique quality.

The hardwood saya is finished in a matte black lacquer that complements the handle wrapping. At 28.5 inches, it houses the blade securely, while the black sageo cord is tied in a traditional knot around the kurikata. The matte surface resists fingerprints and provides a subdued, elegant presentation.

Measuring 40.5 inches in overall length and weighing 4.5 lbs, this katana carries real presence on a stand or mounted display. Every fitting - from the clay-tempered T10 blade to the lacquered hardwood saya - is assembled by hand. For collectors exploring Real Samurai Sword options, this piece delivers authentic construction methods with traditional Japanese aesthetics.

  • Full tang construction with black pu samegawa and black cord-wrapped tsuka measuring 10.25 inches, delivering a secure and comfortable hold.
  • Hardwood saya finished in matte black lacquer at 28.5 inches, paired with black sageo cord for a cohesive, understated appearance.
  • Alloy tsuba in an oval design with gold-tone habaki accent, adding a striking contrast against the all-black fittings.
  • Overall length of 40.5 inches with a total weight of 4.5 lbs - a substantial full-size katana built for display and collection.

Great sword came razor sharp. The hamon line looked a little different in the picture but I can’t complain at only $150

Sorry it’s a screenshot I have from a video. Really wanted to say how grateful I am to them for shipping this out. So so quick. The sword is beautiful. Came exactly how I saw it online. Was even prettier in person for sure. They lubed it up and used really good wrapping on it. Number two in my collection that I have gotten from them and I am so happy with the purchase.

I do like the sword but there is some color changes along the blade, so I’m not sure if it’s mild steel mixed with hard steel, it’s not the fake Harmon but it make me think twice about testing the blade. Thanks
