T10 Carbon Steel Katana with Gold Tsuba, Black Dragon Saya & Brown-Gold Sageo

The blade on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel, ground to a 30.3-inch length with a 1.26-inch width and finished to reveal a natural hamon line along the edge. The chrome-toned surface catches light cleanly, and the full-tang build runs the entire length of the tsuka for solid balance at 2.1 lbs overall. For collectors interested in Hand Forged Japanese Sword options, this piece delivers handcrafted construction through traditional smithing techniques.

The tsuka is wrapped in brown cord over a white ray-skin base, following a classic diamond-pattern braid that gives the grip both visual structure and a firm hold. The brown ito sits tight against the same, with no loose wrapping - a detail that reflects the attention put into each individual assembly.

At the habaki sits a gold-tone tsuba cast with ornate scroll relief work across its full surface. The design is detailed and symmetrical, with the warm gold finish standing out sharply against the dark handle and polished blade. Menuki fittings sit beneath the wrap on both sides of the tsuka.

The saya is lacquered hardwood in deep black, decorated with gold dragon artwork that runs from the koiguchi toward the kojiri. A braided sageo in brown, gold, and white is tied at the kurikata in a layered decorative knot with tasseled ends - one of the most visually striking elements of the full koshirae. This piece fits naturally within the Traditional Japanese Sword category, balancing authentic construction with display-ready presentation.

Overall length packages at 33.4 inches, shipping weight is 3.3 lbs. Each sword is assembled individually, so minor variation in fit and finish is expected and natural. Sword stand not included.
