T10 Carbon Steel Katana with Hamon, Dark Blue Ito & Black Lacquer Saya - Cloud Tsuba
- T10 carbon steel blade with a visible hamon line along the edge, hand-finished to bring out natural contrast between the hardened edge and the body of the blade.
- Full tang construction runs the full length of the handle, providing structural integrity and a well-balanced feel whether mounted on a display stand or handled directly.
- Dark blue ito wrapping over black samegawa (ray skin) creates a striking navy-and-black color pairing on the tsuka, with decorative menuki accents visible through the wrap.
- Silver-tone alloy tsuba features an engraved cloud motif with swirling detail work on a rounded, petal-edged plate - a refined visual centerpiece between blade and handle.
- Black hardwood lacquer saya with matching dark blue sageo cord completes the two-tone color scheme, finished with a high-gloss lacquer surface for a clean, polished look.

Product Details
The blade on this katana is forged from T10 carbon steel and hand-finished to reveal a natural hamon line running along the edge. The contrast between the polished edge and the darker blade body is visible along the full 40.5-inch length, giving it the kind of detail that holds up under close inspection. Blade width measures 1.26 inches with a spine thickness of 0.275 inches, and total assembled weight comes in at 3.17 lbs.
The tsuka is built on a full tang core, meaning the steel runs continuously through the handle for structural consistency. Black samegawa (ray skin) covers the base, and dark blue ito is wrapped over it in a traditional diagonal pattern. Decorative menuki hardware is tucked beneath the wrap at intervals, adding dimension to the grip without disrupting the wrap tension.
The tsuba is a standout component - a silver-tone alloy guard with a wide, petal-scalloped outer edge and an engraved cloud motif across its face. The swirling cloud relief work is cast with visible depth, and the gold-tone seppa (spacer washers) on either side provide a warm contrast against the silver guard. This cloud theme tsuba is a characteristic piece of traditional Handcrafted Japanese Katana koshirae styling.
The saya is constructed from hardwood finished in a high-gloss black lacquer. A dark blue sageo cord is knotted at the kurigata in a traditional style, using the same navy tone as the tsuka ito to tie the full koshirae together visually. The lacquer finish is smooth and even, providing both protection for the blade and a presentation-ready appearance.
Overall length assembled is 40.5 inches with a shipping weight of 4.4 lbs. The package dimensions are 43.3 x 3.93 x 3.14 inches. Note that a sword stand is not included. This piece suits collectors focused on traditional koshirae aesthetics and anyone looking for a well-built katana with consistent color coordination across all fittings.
