- Forged from T10 carbon steel with clay tempering, producing a genuine hamon line along the blade - each sword's hamon pattern is naturally unique and forms during the heat-treatment process.

- The round bronze-gold tsuba features a hand-cast lion motif in high relief, paired with a gold-accent habaki collar - a bold visual centerpiece that anchors the koshirae aesthetic.
- Black rayskin saya (scabbard) wraps the hardwood core in authentic pearl rayskin, finished with red sageo cord accents that contrast cleanly against the dark ground.
- Overall length 40.5 in (103 cm), nagasa 28.3 in (72 cm), handle 10.2 in (26 cm), weight 3.2 lb - full koshirae fittings included, display stand not included.

Product Details
The blade is forged from T10 carbon steel using a clay tempering process, which creates a genuine hamon - the visible temper line that traces the boundary between the hardened edge and softer spine. Because the hamon forms naturally during heat treatment, no two blades carry an identical pattern, making each piece one of a kind. The hand-ground finish brings out a chrome-bright polish that highlights the flowing hamon detail visible in the close-up shots. For collectors interested in exploring more pieces from this tradition, our Featured Clay Tempered Katana collection gathers the strongest examples in this category.
The tsuka is built over a full-tang core, ensuring the blade extends the full length of the handle without any joint or reduction. Real white samegawa (rayskin) is wrapped directly over the wood core, then covered in black-and-white cotton cord in a traditional diamond-pattern wrap. A pair of amber-toned menuki accent pieces are secured beneath the cord at regular intervals, visible in the detail photograph.
The tsuba is cast in a bronze-gold finish and shaped as a round disc with a lion rendered in high relief at its center - mane full, expression confident. The habaki collar below is finished in contrasting gold tone, and the fuchi kашира fittings continue the dark-metal theme of the overall koshirae. This lion motif gives the sword a distinct character that sets it apart from more standard dragon or floral tsuba designs.
The saya is crafted from natural hardwood and wrapped in authentic black pearl rayskin, the same material used on the handle. The granular rayskin texture catches light across its surface, giving the scabbard a quiet visual depth rather than a plain lacquer finish. Red sageo cord is knotted through the kurikata fitting, providing the only burst of color against the otherwise black-and-white palette and echoing the red accent details near the tsuba.
With an overall length of 40.5 in (103 cm), a nagasa of 28.3 in (72 cm), and a total weight of 3.2 lb, this is a full-size katana replica suited for serious display or koshirae study. All fittings - tsuba, habaki, fuchi, kashira, and sageo - are included as shown. The sword stand pictured is not included. If you are comparing T10 Samurai Sword options, this piece represents the lion-themed koshirae variant within that steel category.
