T10 Carbon Steel Katana with Gold Dragon Saya - Hamon Blade, Bronze Tsuba, Beige Handle
- T10 carbon steel blade with a visible hamon line along the edge, produced through a heat-treatment process that delivers both surface hardness and core resilience - a defining mark of quality craftsmanship in a full-tang katana.
- Full-tang construction runs the steel continuously from tip to pommel, providing solid structural integrity and well-balanced weight distribution across the 40.5-inch overall length at 3.17 lbs.
- Gold lacquered hardwood saya features a hand-applied dragon motif in raised relief with red accent detailing - the vibrant gold finish contrasts sharply against the black braided sageo cord wrapped at the koiguchi.
- Bronze tsuba showcases an intricately carved dragon design with flowing wave textures and fine line engraving - the aged bronze tone pairs naturally with the beige ito wrap and gold saya for a cohesive koshirae aesthetic.
- Beige ito handle wrap follows a traditional diamond-pattern binding over real black samegawa (ray skin), providing a firm grip surface while maintaining the classic samurai handle appearance.

Product Details
The blade is forged from T10 carbon steel and heat-treated to produce a natural hamon - the distinct temper line visible along the edge that indicates differential hardness between the edge and spine. The chrome-finished blade runs 40.5 inches total with a width of 1.26 inches and spine thickness of 0.275 inches, ground to a clean geometry with a pronounced tip curvature. Full-tang construction means the steel extends uninterrupted through the handle, contributing to the sword's solid 3.17 lb. balance.
The beige ito is wrapped in the traditional diamond-overlap pattern over black samegawa ray skin, creating a textured grip surface that holds its form through repeated handling. The wrap color coordinates with the saya and tsuba tones to give the full koshirae a unified, intentional look rather than a mismatched assembly.
The bronze tsuba is one of the most detailed components on this piece. Cast with a dragon motif, it features layered relief work showing the dragon in motion against a textured wave background - the aged bronze patina deepens the carving contrast and gives it an antique character. The oval form sits flush against the habaki for a clean fit.
The gold lacquered hardwood saya is the visual centerpiece of this Yellow Hardwood Japanese Samurai Swords collection piece. Applied over a hardwood core, the gold lacquer finish carries a painted dragon design in muted earth tones with a prominent red jewel accent near the center - the imagery wraps around the saya body and is sealed under the lacquer layer. A black braided sageo is knotted at the koiguchi opening, providing a strong color anchor against the gold.
At 40.5 inches overall with a shipping weight of 4.4 lbs., this katana is suited for wall display, koshirae study, or as a centerpiece in a Yellow Samurai Sword collection. Sword stand is not included.
