Dragon Tsuba T10 Carbon Steel Katana, Clay Tempered, Full Tang & Handcrafted

Product Details
The blade is forged from T10 carbon steel and clay tempered to produce a genuine hamon - the undulating temper line visible along the edge is a direct result of differential hardening, leaving the edge harder and the spine more resilient. The chrome-polished surface highlights the hamon's wave pattern with exceptional clarity, and the full tang construction runs the entire length of the tsuka for structural integrity throughout.;
The handle is wrapped over PU black samegawa, a textured ray skin imitation that provides grip texture under the ito layer. Black braided cord is applied in the traditional diamond-knot pattern, pulled tight with consistent spacing and finished with a neat bow near the fuchi. The result is a clean all-black tsuka that reads as refined rather than minimal. Explore our full range of Handmade Katana for similar construction approaches across different styles.
The tsuba is cast from alloy in a circular openwork form with a white-finish base plate. A gold-tone dragon is sculpted in raised relief across the face, its body coiling across the surface with fine scale detail on the wings and claws. The white-and-gold color pairing contrasts sharply against the black ito and gives the sword a distinct visual break between blade and handle.
The saya is shaped from hardwood and lacquered in a deep dark red finish with natural color variation across the surface - the lacquer reveals warm brown and burgundy tones depending on the light angle. A black sageo cord is knotted tightly at the kurigata, the loose ends left long for display draping. The overall koshirae presentation is cohesive: dark red saya, black cord, white-gold tsuba, and a bright polished blade. Browse the Red Katana collection for additional saya color variations in this style.
Overall length is 41 inches with a blade width of 1.259 inches and a total weight of 3 lbs. The package ships in a 43 x 4 x 4 inch box at a shipping weight of 4 lbs. Sword stand is not included.
