- Blade forged from Tamahagane steel - iron sand smelted with charcoal in a tatara furnace - then sorted into high and low carbon pieces and layered-forged following traditional Japanese sword-making methods.
- Clay-tempered blade polished with hazuya and jizuya stones to reveal a natural hamon line and visible grain pattern; final section-by-section polishing delivers a high-shine, mirror-quality finish.
- Full-tang construction with real white samegawa (rayskin) under a beige cord wrapped in the knot paper wrap style - a winding technique that spaces diamond-shaped openings to expose the rayskin beneath.
- Black iron-style tsuba features hand-carved ornate scroll relief work; fuchi and kashira hardware complete the koshirae fittings in a consistent dark-tone finish.
- Black hardwood saya finished in premium natural lacquer, fitted with a brown braided sageo cord knotted at the kurikata - a rich burgundy-brown that contrasts cleanly against the gloss black sheath.
- Overall length 41 in, blade width 1.259 in, spine thickness 0.275 in, weight 3 lb - proportions suited for wall display or serious collectors seeking an authentic Tamahagane replica.

Product Details
The blade of this katana is forged from Tamahagane steel - a traditional Japanese material produced by smelting iron sand and charcoal in a tatara furnace. After smelting, the resulting steel is sorted by carbon content: high-carbon pieces form the hard cutting edge and core, while low-carbon pieces encase them for toughness. The forged blade is then clay-tempered, polished stone by stone with hazuya and jizuya, and brought to a high-shine finish that reveals the natural hamon line and layered grain running the full length. For collectors exploring the full range of Tamahagane Katana Sword options, this piece represents the process at its most complete.
The tsuka is built over a full-tang foundation and wrapped in real white samegawa (rayskin), which provides a textured base layer under the beige cord. The wrapping follows a knot paper wrap pattern - spacing diamond-shaped openings along the grip to expose the samegawa beneath and keep the cord secure under long-term handling.
The tsuba is a black iron-tone guard with hand-carved ornate scroll relief covering both faces. The scroll carving is deep enough to read clearly at display distance, and the dark finish ties directly into the overall koshirae aesthetic. A matching red-brown fuchi sits between the tsuba and the tsuka wrap, reinforcing the color transition from guard to handle.
The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished with multiple coats of premium natural lacquer in gloss black. A brown braided sageo cord is knotted at the kurikata with a layered decorative knot - the burgundy-brown rope providing a warm contrast against the lacquer surface. Kojiri and koiguchi fittings in black complete the sheath's clean lines.
At 41 inches overall with a blade width of 1.259 inches, spine thickness of 0.275 inches, and a weight of 3 lb, this katana is proportioned for prominent wall display or serious collection. The combination of Tamahagane steel, visible hamon, real samegawa, and hand-carved tsuba places it among purpose-built collector pieces rather than decorative replicas.
