T10 Clay Tempered Katana with Green and White Marble Saya - Dragon Tsuba Collectible Sword

This T10 carbon steel katana is clay tempered to produce a genuine hamon line visible along the length of the blade. The differential hardening process creates a natural temper pattern where the spine retains flexibility while the edge achieves superior hardness. The full tang blade spans a total sword length of 40.5 inches with a width of 1.26 inches, delivering both visual presence and structural integrity.

The 11-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core wrapped in white PU samegawa, then bound with dark green cotton ito in a traditional crosshatch pattern. The layered construction provides a firm, comfortable grip while maintaining the authentic aesthetic of Japanese sword handles. Each diamond of white samegawa visible between the green cord adds a clean contrast to the handle's appearance.

Topping the handle is a silver-toned alloy tsuba with detailed dragon-themed relief work. The round guard features raised scrollwork across its face and a gold-accented central medallion, creating a focal point where the handle meets the blade. This ornamental tsuba from our Green Katana collection reflects the careful attention paid to every fitting on this piece.

The hardwood saya is finished in a striking green and white marble-style lacquer that makes this katana immediately recognizable. A dark green sageo cord is tied at the kurikata, and the koiguchi and kojiri fittings in polished metal cap both ends cleanly. The speckled lacquer pattern gives each scabbard a one-of-a-kind appearance that pairs naturally with the green ito handle wrap.

Weighing 3.17 lbs, this katana balances the weight of a genuine T10 steel blade with refined fittings and a cohesive green and white color palette. Whether displayed on a wall mount or showcased in a collection of Dark Green Sageo Japanese Samurai Swords, it stands as a detailed collectible piece built with traditional forging methods and distinctive design choices.
