T10 Carbon Steel Katana with Real Hamon in Black Lacquer Saya - White Tsuka, Gray Alloy Tsuba
- Blade is forged from T10 carbon steel, heat-treated to produce a visible real hamon along the edge - a classic marker of differential tempering and traditional Japanese sword craftsmanship.
- Full tang construction runs the steel continuously from blade tip through the handle core, ensuring solid structural integrity across the entire 40.5-inch length at 2.8 lbs.
- White ito wrapping over black PU samegawa gives the tsuka a high-contrast look with dependable grip texture; brass menuki accents are set flush beneath the wrap at each side.
- Gray alloy tsuba features a square form with rounded cutouts and engraved floral patterns, paired with a gold-tone habaki collar that bridges blade and guard with clean precision.
- Black hardwood lacquer saya has a matte speckled finish with subtle texture variation; black-and-white striped sageo is tied in a formal knot at the kurikata for an authentic koshirae presentation.

Product Details
The blade of this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel, a high-carbon material valued for its hardness and edge retention. Heat treatment produces a genuine hamon line running along the length of the blade - the visible boundary where hardness transitions from edge to spine. The polished chrome-finish nagasa measures 40.5 inches overall and runs full tang through the handle, maintaining structural continuity from tip to pommel. At 2.8 lbs, the balance feels deliberate rather than heavy.;
The tsuka is wrapped in white ito over black PU samegawa, creating a sharp monochrome contrast that reads cleanly both up close and at a distance. The wrap follows a traditional diamond pattern, and two brass menuki are set beneath the binding on each side. The kashira and fuchi fittings carry a consistent metal tone that ties the handle assembly together without competing with the wrap color.
The tsuba is cast alloy in a gray finish, shaped in a rounded-square silhouette with open teardrop cutouts at each corner. The face surface carries engraved chrysanthemum motifs - a recurring emblem in Japanese court and samurai aesthetics. A gold-tone habaki collar seats cleanly between the tsuba and the blade shoulder, adding a precise visual transition between guard and blade. This Traditional Katana configuration follows a classic koshirae assembly style.
The saya is constructed from hardwood finished with a black lacquer coat that shows a fine speckled texture across its surface - not a flat gloss, but a matte granular effect that gives the scabbard visual depth. A black-and-white striped sageo is threaded through the kurikata and tied in a formal knot, referencing the same monochrome palette carried through the tsuka wrapping. The koiguchi and kojiri fittings maintain a clean fit at both entry and tip.
As part of the T10 Carbon Steel Katana category, this piece combines hardwood saya construction with a koshirae-style full mounting. Overall dimensions run 40.5 in. length x 1.259 in. width x 0.275 in. height, shipping weight 3.3 lbs. The sword stand is not included.
