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 Sword 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 Natural Wood Japanese Samurai Swords 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.
