T10 Carbon Steel Full Tang Katana with Marble Saya in Teal - Gold Samurai Tsuba

The blade on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel and ground to a hand-finished edge, with a clearly defined hamon running the length of the nagasa. That temper line - bright against the polished chrome-finish steel - is the result of controlled heat treatment applied during the forging process, and it gives the blade its characteristic visual contrast. The full-tang construction anchors the steel through the entire tsuka core, keeping the assembly rigid whether the piece is drawn for display or handled for kata practice. Blade dimensions measure 40.55 in overall with a 1.259 in width and 0.275 in spine thickness. For collectors interested in hand-forged construction, this piece sits alongside others in the Hand Forged Katana category.

The tsuka is wrapped in teal green cord over real white samegawa - genuine rayskin panels that provide texture beneath the diamond-pattern ito binding. The wrap follows a traditional hishigami fold, with white accent diamonds visible at each crossover point against the deep teal cord. Gold-tone kashira caps the pommel end, matching the hardware tone carried through to the tsuba.

The tsuba is one of the most visually distinctive elements of this build. Cast in a gold tone and shaped in a rounded oval form, it carries a samurai-scene relief - a seated warrior figure with flowing details pressed into the surface. The engraving depth gives the motif a sculptural quality that reads clearly under direct light.

The saya is built from hardwood and finished in a multi-layered lacquer that produces the marble-pattern surface - swirling amber, teal, and dark base tones across the length of the scabbard. A teal and white braided sageo wraps the saya in a structured knot pattern, secured at the kurigata with a gold-tone fitting that echoes the tsuba's color. The overall effect is a cohesive teal-and-gold palette from handle to scabbard tip. If this aesthetic interests you, the broader Marble Katana collection includes additional finishes in the same style.

Total weight is 2.8 lb with shipping weight at 3.3 lb. The package dimensions are 42.9 x 3.9 x 3.5 in. This is a replica katana intended for collection and display - sword stand not included.
