T10 Carbon Steel Katana with Dragon Tsuba in Black & Gold Lacquer Saya - Full Tang, Real Hamon
- Blade forged from T10 carbon steel with clay tempering, producing a genuine hamon temper line along the edge - a visual record of the hardening process that also adds structural contrast between spine and edge.
- Full tang construction runs the steel continuously through the handle, giving the sword solid balance and structural integrity across its 40.5-inch total length and 3.2 lb weight.
- Dragon-themed tsuba in a black-and-gold finish features an ornate relief carving of a dragon in motion - paired with a gold-tone habaki that creates a bold accent between blade and handle.
- Black hardwood saya is finished in high-gloss lacquer with hand-applied gold dragon motif detailing, making the scabbard a focal piece that complements the sword's overall black and gold palette.
- Handle wrapped in black ito cord over PU white samegawa in a traditional tsukamaki diamond pattern, providing a textured grip surface and a clean visual contrast against the dark fittings.
- Black sageo cord tied at the kurikata adds the finishing detail to the koshirae mounting style, completing a cohesive all-black and gold presentation across blade, handle, and saya.

Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel and clay tempered to produce a genuine hamon - the visible temper line running along the edge that marks the boundary between the hardened cutting zone and the more flexible spine. The chrome-finish blade runs to 40.5 inches total length with a 1.26-inch width and 0.28-inch spine thickness, offering the profile of a traditional Japanese katana in a full-tang construction that keeps the steel continuous from tip through handle.
The handle is built on that full-tang foundation and wrapped in black ito cord using a traditional tsukamaki diamond pattern over PU white samegawa underneath. The contrast of white ray-skin texture beneath the black wrapping is visible through the diamond gaps, creating the layered look characteristic of koshirae-style mountings. Black menuki accents are set beneath the cord at the grip, adding small sculptural details consistent with the sword's overall aesthetic.
The tsuba is the most visually striking component - a circular guard in black and gold featuring a high-relief dragon carving in fine detail, set against a textured dark ground. A rectangular gold-tone habaki sits immediately below, providing a clean metallic transition from guard to blade. The dragon theme, rendered with scaled body and cloud motifs, is the defining design element of this sword's fittings.
The saya is crafted from hardwood and finished in deep black lacquer, with hand-applied gold dragon imagery painted directly onto the surface at intervals along the scabbard's length. The gold motifs echo the tsuba's dragon theme and the habaki's metal tone, tying the entire presentation together. A black sageo cord is knotted at the kurikata in the traditional manner.
