T10 Steel Real Hamon Katana with Teal Ito, Black Rayskin & Gold-Black Geometric Tsuba

The 28.74-inch manganese steel blade is hardened to 62 HRC and carries a genuine hamon line - the undulating temper pattern runs continuously along the nagasa, catching light at every angle. The hand-finished edge shows the controlled work of the polishing process, and the chrome-toned steel surface provides a clean contrast against the dark furniture throughout the rest of the piece. For collectors drawn to Gold-plated Tsuba Katana styles, this sword bridges that aesthetic with a more understated, koshirae-forward design.

The tsuka runs 10.62 inches and is built over a full tang core, then wrapped in real black rayskin before the teal ito is applied in a traditional diamond-gap braid. The white samegawa nodes show through each opening in the wrap, creating a fine contrast against the deep teal cord. The grip feels substantial in hand and the binding holds its geometry without slipping.

The alloy tsuba is finished in a two-tone gold-black scheme. Its face is engraved with a tight geometric maze pattern - square lattice lines packed edge to edge - with a gold-toned rim running the perimeter. The fuchi repeats the gold accent, tying the handle transition to the guard visually. It sits flush and does not rattle against the blade collar.

The black hardwood saya is 29.92 inches, lacquered in matte and showing no sheen or gloss. A teal sageo cord is braided at the koiguchi opening, matching the ito color exactly. The cord falls in a split-end decorative knot along the lower saya body. Real horn fittings at the koiguchi and kojiri reinforce the end points where wear typically concentrates.

Total assembled length is 40.55 inches at a weight of 2.8 lb. The koshirae-style mounting, teal-and-black color scheme, and geometric tsuba together give this piece a strong visual identity on a wall mount or display stand. It ships in a fitted box measuring 42.9 x 3.9 x 3.5 inches at a shipping weight of 3.3 lb.
