Product Details
This shirasaya katana features a T10 carbon steel blade that has been clay tempered to produce a genuine hamon line running along the cutting edge. The differential hardening process creates a harder edge and a softer spine, visible as an irregular wavy pattern where the two zones meet. The blade surface shows subtle texture from the forging process, and the steel carries a clean polish that highlights the hamon's natural contour from habaki to kissaki.
The handle follows traditional shirasaya construction - a single piece of natural hardwood shaped to fit the tang without any wrapping, menuki, or fuchi-kashira fittings. At 11 inches, the tsuka offers generous grip length, and the full tang runs through the entire handle for solid structural integrity. The bare wood surface shows natural grain variation, giving each piece a unique character.
Where the blade meets the handle, a brass habaki with an openwork floral or cloud pattern serves as the sole metal accent on the piece. This pierced brass collar provides a warm gold tone against the pale wood and polished steel, adding a touch of decorative detail to an otherwise minimalist design.
The saya is crafted from the same natural hardwood as the handle, creating a seamless visual match when the sword is sheathed. A black horn-style koiguchi at the mouth of the scabbard provides a snug fit and a clean contrast point against the light wood. The saya tapers gently toward the kojiri, and its smooth finish lets the natural wood texture remain visible. Among the broader Shirasaya Samurai Katana collection, this natural wood variant stands out for its understated, organic aesthetic.
Overall, this katana measures 40.5 inches in length with a blade width of 1.26 inches, weighing 2.54 lbs. The combination of clay tempered T10 steel, real hamon, and unadorned hardwood fittings makes it a focused expression of the shirasaya form. For collectors interested in shorter companions to pair with this piece, the Shirasaya Wakizashi collection offers matching options in a compact format.
