T10 Folded Clay Tempered Katana with Dark Green Textured Saya and Openwork Iron Tsuba - Full Tang Collectible

This katana features a T10 folded clay tempered steel blade with a genuine hamon visible along the hand-finished edge. The folding process refines the grain structure of the steel, while the clay tempering technique produces a differential hardness between the spine and edge, resulting in an organic hamon pattern that catches light beautifully.

The 11-inch tsuka is built on a full tang core and wrapped in dark green cotton cord using a traditional diamond-pattern weave over black ray-skin samegawa. Gold-tone menuki are set beneath the wrap, providing subtle texture and visual contrast against the green cord.

At the intersection of blade and handle sits an openwork iron tsuba with an intricate scrollwork cutout design, finished in a dark patina. Brass seppa and a brass habaki complete the fittings, framing the tsuba with a warm metallic accent that pairs well with the dark green color scheme.

The dark green saya is finished with a distinctive speckled, stone-like lacquer texture that gives it a rich, almost mineral appearance. A brown braided sageo cord wraps around the kurikata, secured alongside a small jade-toned ojime bead with a gold-rimmed setting - a refined detail visible in the close-up.
