Product Details
This T10 clay tempered katana brings together premium materials and time-honored forging techniques in a piece built to impress. The blade is hand-forged from T10 carbon steel, a high-carbon alloy prized for its hardness and ability to hold a refined edge. Through the traditional clay tempering process, the swordsmith creates a real hamon - the distinctive temper line that runs along the blade, unique to each piece and a hallmark of authentic Japanese craftsmanship.
The full tang blade extends through the handle, secured beneath a wrap of genuine white samegawa (rayskin) and tightly wound black silk cord. This combination delivers a textured, non-slip grip with a classic aesthetic that honors traditional katana construction. Every layer is hand-applied, ensuring a fit and finish that reflects the care of the artisan.
Housing the blade is a red hardwood saya coated in premium natural lacquer. The rich, glossy finish catches light beautifully and protects the blade when sheathed. A black sageo cord completes the scabbard, allowing for traditional carry and adding a clean visual accent against the red lacquer.
At the heart of the design sits a copper tsuba engraved with a delicate floral motif. The warm copper tones create a striking contrast against the steel blade and the red saya, making this guard a true focal point. The level of detail in the engraving speaks to the skill of the craftsman behind each piece.
Measuring 40.6 inches in overall length and weighing 2.8 pounds, this katana occupies the sweet spot between presence and proportion. Whether displayed on a stand or held in hand, it carries the weight and balance of a traditionally forged T10 katana built with collector-grade attention to detail. A standout addition to any red katana collection.
Collectors and enthusiasts consistently praise the hamon clarity and the quality of materials - from the rayskin grip to the lacquered saya. Every element of this katana is designed to be admired up close, where the craftsmanship truly shines.
