T10 Carbon Steel Katana with Marble-Finish Saya - White Ito, Geometric Tsuba, Full Tang

The blade on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel and carries a natural hamon line along the edge - the result of differential heat treatment during production. At 40.5 inches overall and 3.17 lbs, the proportions sit in the classic katana range, with a chrome-finished nagasa that catches light cleanly against its dark spine. The hand-finished edge and visible temperline give the blade genuine visual character without relying on surface polish alone. For collectors interested in Traditional Handmade Katana, this piece reflects the kind of detail work that separates hand-forged steel from mass production.

The tsuka is wrapped in white ito over PU black samegawa, following the traditional diamond lozenge pattern. The wrap sits flush and even throughout, with black menuki accents peeking through the crossings. The ivory-white tone of the ito provides a deliberate visual contrast against the darker elements of the mounting, and the overall handle length supports a comfortable two-handed grip.

The tsuba is a standout component - a round alloy piece finished in black with silver-tone engraving across a geometric maze pattern. At the center, a gold-toned habaki anchors the transition between blade and handle, adding a warm metallic note that ties the black-and-silver guard to the rest of the koshirae. The geometric motif is precise and dense, giving the guard a strong visual presence without ornamental excess.

The saya is crafted from hardwood and finished with a natural lacquer that produces a speckled, marble-like surface texture in muted gold, gray, and black tones. A braided black sageo cord wraps the koiguchi end in tight, structured coils, secured with a small black bead toggle. The overall effect is understated but distinctive - the saya reads as a piece worth examining on its own. This katana is also listed within our Decorative Katana collection alongside similar koshirae-style mountings.
