T10 Carbon Steel Katana with Real Hamon - Gold Geometric Tsuba, Brown Ito, Black Lacquer Saya

The blade on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel and finished with a hand-ground edge that reveals a genuine hamon line - the natural temper pattern visible along the length of the 28.3-inch nagasa. The chrome-polished surface catches light cleanly, and the hamon adds a layered visual depth that mass-produced blades simply cannot replicate. The full-tang construction runs through the entire tsuka, giving this piece the structural solidity expected of traditional koshirae.

The tsuka measures 10.2 inches and is wrapped in brown cotton ito using the classic diamond pattern over white same (ray-skin). Knot paper is fitted inside each diamond wrap - a detail visible in the close-up imagery - keeping the ito tight and preventing slippage over time. Gold-toned fittings at the fuchi and kashira echo the tsuba's warm metallic tone, tying the handle assembly together with consistent hardware.

The tsuba is one of the most visually striking elements of this build. Cast in iron with a gold finish, it features a deeply carved geometric lattice pattern - precise, repeating squares and interlocking forms that reference classical Japanese decorative motifs. The lobed, flower-shaped silhouette softens the rigid geometry and gives the guard a refined character suited to a Real Japanese Samurai Sword aesthetic.

The saya is crafted from natural hardwood with a high-gloss black lacquer coat. The deep, mirror-like finish is clean and consistent along the full length, creating a strong visual contrast with the brown sageo cord tied at the kurigata. The sageo is braided in a traditional knot style, adding an authentic koshirae detail that completes the overall presentation.

Total overall length is 41 inches with a 3 lb weight - a well-balanced proportion across the 28.3-inch nagasa and 10.2-inch tsuka. If you're exploring Flower Theme Handle Japanese Samurai Swords or traditional koshirae builds, this piece offers a strong combination of T10 steel, visible hamon, and detailed hardware in a cohesive brown-and-gold presentation.
