Product Details
This shirasaya katana features a 28.34-inch T10 carbon steel blade that has been clay-tempered to achieve a hardness of 60 HRC along the cutting edge. The clay tempering process produces a genuine hamon line visible along the length of the nagasa - a wavy, irregular temper line that marks the transition between the hardened edge and the softer spine. The result is a blade with a bright, mirror-like finish contrasted by the organic texture of the hamon.;
The handle follows traditional shirasaya construction, carved from a single piece of wengewood that extends 10.62 inches. The blade runs full tang through the entire grip, secured internally for structural integrity. Without ito wrapping or same panels, the natural brown grain of the wengewood is fully visible, giving the handle a warm, organic feel. This is a defining feature of the Shirasaya Sword style - wood-on-steel simplicity.
Where the blade meets the handle, a brass habaki collar with an openwork pattern provides a snug fit and prevents lateral movement. The detail work on this collar stands out against the natural wood tones, with the brass showing a gold-toned finish and geometric cutout design that adds visual interest to an otherwise minimalist build.
The saya measures 29.52 inches and is crafted from the same wengewood as the handle, maintaining a unified grain pattern across the entire piece. A black horn-style koiguchi at the mouth of the saya provides a firm friction fit for the blade. The wood surface shows a natural textured grain with subtle variation in brown tones, untreated to preserve the raw character of the material.
Overall, this katana measures 40.15 inches in total length and weighs 2.53 lbs. The T10 Carbon Steel Katana construction combined with the stripped-down shirasaya form makes this a focused collectible piece - no unnecessary ornamentation, just quality materials shaped by hand into a cohesive display sword.
