- Blade forged from authentic Tamahagane (jewel steel) - smelted from iron sand and charcoal in a traditional tatara furnace, then sorted into high and low carbon pieces and hand-forged following classical nihonto construction methods.
- Clay tempered blade produces a natural, visible hamon line; hazuya and jizuya stones are used to reveal the grain pattern, with section-by-section polishing that brings out the full detail and mirror-like sheen of the finished blade.
- Full tang construction throughout - the tang runs the complete length of the tsuka, delivering the structural integrity serious collectors and tameshigiri practitioners demand. Overall length 41 in., weight 3 lb.
- Handle wrapped in genuine white samegawa (stingray skin) beneath olive-green ito using knot paper wraps technique - the raised nodes of the samegawa lock the cord in place and provide a confident, non-slip grip.
- Hand-carved copper tsuba features an ornate scroll motif in warm brown tones; a teal-green sageo braided cord is tied in a traditional knot at the kurigata, completing the koshirae-style fittings.
- Black hardwood saya finished with premium natural lacquer protects the blade and anchors the deep green-and-copper color story of the full mounting - a cohesive presentation for serious collectors.

Product Details
At the core of this katana lies a blade forged from genuine Tamahagane - jewel steel smelted from iron sand and charcoal in a traditional tatara furnace. High-carbon and low-carbon fractions are separated after smelting, then hand-forged in the classical nihonto manner: the harder high-carbon steel forms the edge and spine while the tougher low-carbon steel encases the core. For collectors who care about the Tamahagane Katana Sword tradition, this construction method is the standard against which everything else is measured.
The blade is clay tempered before quenching to produce a genuine, naturally occurring hamon. After hardening, hazuya and jizuya polishing stones are worked section by section across the entire length to bring out the hamon line, surface grain, and full mirror polish. The result is a chrome-bright blade surface with the wave-pattern activity that only differential hardening can create - visible, detailed, and unique to this individual sword.
The tsuka is built over a full tang - the steel runs the complete length of the handle - and wrapped in authentic white samegawa, the nodular skin of the stingray. Over the samegawa, olive-green ito is applied using a knot paper wraps technique, locking each cord crossing firmly against the samegawa nodes for a grip that stays secure under repeated use. The handle color reads as a rich, deep olive green that contrasts cleanly with the chrome blade.
The copper tsuba is hand-carved with an ornate scroll motif and presents in warm brown tones - visually distinct against the green ito. A matching teal-green sageo is braided and knotted in traditional style at the kurigata, tying the entire koshirae presentation together. The fittings carry a consistent green-and-copper palette that gives this mounting a cohesive, purposeful aesthetic.
The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished with premium natural lacquer in deep black, providing both blade protection and a striking visual anchor for the ensemble. Overall length is 41 in. and weight is 3 lb. - well-balanced for display and handling alike. If you are exploring the broader range of Full Tang Japanese Sword options, this Tamahagane piece stands as one of the more historically grounded choices available at this level.
