T10 Carbon Steel Katana with Real Hamon in Red Lacquer Saya - Teal & Red Tsuka

The blade on this katana is forged from T10 high-carbon steel and heat-treated to produce a genuine hamon - the undulating temper line that runs along the edge and stands as one of the most recognized marks of traditional Japanese swordsmithing. The polished chrome finish catches light cleanly, and the visible hamon adds depth and character that sets it apart from production-line pieces. Collectors interested in Natural-wood T10 Carbon Steel Katana designs will find the blade quality here consistent with that standard.

The handle construction pairs a full-tang blade with a tsuka wrapped in teal ito cord over red PU samegawa (ray-skin). The red diamond-pattern knots are tied at regular intervals across the teal base, creating a bold two-tone contrast that carries through the entire grip. The kashira at the pommel end matches the gold-tone hardware used throughout the fittings.

A round gold-tone tsuba with rectangular cutout perforations serves as the guard, sitting flush against the habaki collar. The gold hardware carries a warm, polished tone that bridges the deep teal of the handle and the red of the saya without visual disruption. The fuchi collar mirrors the same finish, keeping the transition between blade and grip clean and cohesive.

The saya is crafted from hardwood with a red lacquer finish - a deep, even red that shows the grain texture beneath the surface coating. A brown sageo cord is knotted through the kurigata, fitted with small teal bead accents that echo the handle wrap color. This piece is part of a broader range of Multi-colored Japanese Samurai Swords that emphasize intentional color pairing across fittings.

Overall length is 41 inches. Shipping weight is 6 lbs, with packaging dimensions of 43 x 4 x 4 inches. The sword stand or holder is not included with this piece.
