T10 Steel Katana with Natural Wood Saya, Gold Flower Tsuba & Wave-Engraved Blade - Full Tang

The blade on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel and finished with a visible hamon line that traces the temper boundary from kissaki to habaki. A hand-applied wave engraving runs along the flat of the blade, adding surface detail that catches light differently depending on the angle. The steel is precision-finished to a chrome-polished surface, and the full-tang construction ensures the blade extends completely through the handle core.

The tsuka is built on a natural wood core wrapped in black cotton ito using a traditional diamond over-wrap pattern. Beneath the wrapping, the same natural hardwood character of the saya is preserved. Gold-tone fittings - including the fuchi and kashira - provide visual continuity between the handle and the guard, while a black sageo cord is knotted at the kurikata for carry or display.

The tsuba is one of the most visually distinctive elements of this koshirae. Cast in gold tone, it features an octagonal silhouette with openwork floral relief carving - cherry blossoms and scrolling foliage fill the surface in an antique style. The habaki sits flush beneath the tsuba, finished in a matching gold-tone with a geometric surface texture that complements the guard's detail work.

The saya is shaped from hardwood natural and left in an uncoated finish that exposes the full depth of the wood grain. The swirling amber, tan, and brown figuring gives each scabbard a one-of-a-kind appearance - no two are identical. This natural wood finish pairs directly with the Marble T10 Carbon Steel Katana family of koshirae styles that prioritize organic materials over lacquer. A black sageo cord is tied through the kurikata opening at the koiguchi end.

Overall length is 41 inches and shipping weight is 4 lbs, packaged in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box. Each piece is individually assembled by hand, so minor variation in grain pattern and hamon profile is expected and inherent to the process. Sword stand not included.
