T10 Carbon Steel Wakizashi with Crane Tsuba in Green Cord & Black Lacquer Saya
- T10 carbon steel blade with a visible hamon line along the edge, achieved through traditional heat-treatment for a hard cutting edge and resilient spine.
- Full tang construction distributes weight evenly across the 30.3-inch overall length, giving the piece solid balance whether mounted for display or handled.
- Gold-tone alloy tsuba cast with a detailed crane motif - relief-sculpted wings and contours give it strong visual depth against the green tsuka wrap.
- Handle wrapped in green cord over real white samegawa (ray skin), forming the classic diamond pattern that provides a firm, non-slip grip texture.
- Black lacquered hardwood saya with matching green sageo cord tied at the kurigata - clean high-gloss finish contrasts the gold fittings and green wrap.

Product Details
The blade on this wakizashi is forged from T10 carbon steel and heat-treated to produce a distinct hamon line tracing the edge - a wave-like temper pattern that reflects light and signals the differential hardness between edge and spine. At 30.3 inches overall with a 1.26-inch width and 0.27-inch spine, the proportions sit squarely in classic wakizashi territory. The Black T10 Carbon Steel Wakizashi category covers this steel and finish combination in depth if you want to compare profiles.
The tsuka is built on a full tang core, meaning the blade steel runs the full length of the handle for structural integrity rather than a pinned or partial assembly. Real white samegawa - genuine ray skin - lines the handle beneath the wrap, its pebbly texture locking the green cord in place and preventing any rotation during handling. The cord itself is wrapped in the traditional diamond pattern, with black menuki accents visible between the lozenges.
The tsuba is one of the standout elements here. Cast in a gold-tone alloy, it features a crane in high relief - wings spread, body detailed with fine texture work, set against an open pierced background that lets light pass through the negative space. The fuchi and kashira hardware match in the same antique gold tone, tying the fittings together visually.
The saya is lacquered hardwood finished in a deep gloss black - smooth and hard, protecting the blade while creating a strong color contrast against the green wrap and gold metal. A green sageo cord is tied through the kurigata, looped in a formal knot that completes the koshirae-style presentation. The cord color deliberately echoes the tsuka wrap for a coordinated look.
Total weight comes in at 2.1 pounds with a shipping weight of 3.3 pounds. Overall length is 30.3 inches. This piece suits collectors focused on green-and-black colorways, crane or bird-themed sword fittings, or anyone building a display around traditional Japanese koshirae aesthetics. Sword stand not included.
