T10 Carbon Steel Katana with Dragon-Engraved Blade, Gold Phoenix Tsuba in Brown Cord Handle
- Forged from T10 carbon steel with a genuine hamon visible along the blade - the heat treatment process creates a distinct temper line that serious collectors look for in a quality katana.
- The blade features hand-engraved dragon artwork running along its length, paired with a gold-toned phoenix tsuba that adds striking visual contrast against the polished steel.
- Full-tang construction runs the entire length of the brown cord-wrapped tsuka, which is finished with authentic white ray-skin (samegawa) beneath the traditional diamond-pattern ito wrap.
- A carved amber-accented menuki sits beneath the brown sageo-wrapped handle, while the gold fittings (fuchi and kashira) tie the warm earth-tone color palette together across all components.
- The black hardwood lacquer saya provides a clean contrast to the brown sageo cord wrap - the saya surface shows a deep, even gloss consistent with premium natural lacquer application.
- Overall length 40.5 in, blade width 1.26 in, spine thickness 0.28 in, total weight 3.2 lb - proportions suited to both display mounting and handling by collectors.

Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel and heat-treated to produce a genuine hamon - the natural temper line runs clearly along the edge and is visible from multiple angles. Hand-engraved dragon artwork decorates the flat of the blade, adding a sculptural element to the polished chrome-finish steel. Each sword in this line is individually handcrafted, so minor variations in hamon pattern and engraving depth are expected and reflect the handwork involved. If you're exploring the broader category of Real Steel Katana, this piece fits well within that tradition.
The tsuka is wrapped in a traditional diamond-pattern ito using brown cord over genuine white samegawa (ray-skin), which provides both grip texture and visual structure. A carved amber-toned menuki is seated beneath the wrap, adding a decorative accent that catches light through the ito gaps. The fuchi and kashira fittings are finished in gold tone, maintaining a warm metallic consistency from handle base to pommel cap.
The tsuba is cast in a gold-toned alloy and features a phoenix motif in raised relief - wings spread across both faces of the guard with fine feather detail. An orange-tinted accent piece is set into the center cavity on the visible face, giving the guard additional depth and color. The cutout lattice pattern on the guard body keeps the visual profile open rather than heavy.
The saya is constructed from hardwood and finished with a glossy black lacquer coat that contrasts cleanly against the brown sageo cord. The sageo is woven into a traditional knot pattern at the koiguchi opening, with small decorative elements - including what appear to be green and orange accent beads - worked into the binding. The overall earth-tone and black palette across tsuka, sageo, and saya gives this piece a coherent, grounded aesthetic.
Overall length is 40.5 in, blade width 1.26 in, spine thickness 0.28 in, and total weight is 3.2 lb. The package ships at 3.4 lb in a 43.4 x 3.9 x 3.14 in box. Note: sword stand is not included.
