T10 Steel Katana with White Lacquer Saya, Teal Cord Handle & Crane Tsuba - Giyu Replica

The blade on this katana is forged from T10 high-carbon steel, ground and hand-finished to reveal a genuine hamon line running along the edge. The full-tang construction runs the length of the tsuka, giving the piece solid structural integrity across its 41-inch overall length. The steel's natural chrome finish catches light cleanly, making the hamon detail visible even at a distance.

The tsuka is wrapped in teal ito cord over a white PU samegawa base, following a traditional diamond-lace pattern with evenly spaced menuki beneath the binding. The contrast between the teal cord and white underlayer is sharp and deliberate - directly referencing the split-color handle aesthetic associated with Giyu Tomioka in Demon Slayer. If you're exploring the broader range of Green Cord Handle Katana styles, this teal-wrapped version sits at the bolder end of that spectrum.

The black iron tsuba is cast with an engraved crane motif on both faces - a classical Japanese design element that adds visual depth without competing with the handle and saya colors. A gold-tone habaki seats the blade cleanly against the tsuba, completing the transition between blade and handle components.

The saya is crafted from hardwood finished in white lacquer, producing a smooth, even surface with a clean matte-white tone. Black-red sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata in a traditional style, providing both functional cord management and a strong visual anchor against the white saya. This red-and-white color story is explored further across the Red And White Japanese Katana collection if you're building a themed display.

At 41 inches overall and 4 lbs, this katana is proportioned for display rather than handling practice. Each piece is individually assembled, so minor variations in wrap tension and hamon character are expected. Sword stand not included.
