T10 Carbon Steel Katana with Real Hamon in Black & Gold Koshirae - Hand Forged Full Tang

The blade on this katana is hand forged from T10 carbon steel and finished with a real hamon - the undulating temper line that runs along the edge is a product of the heat treatment process rather than an etched pattern. The chrome-polished surface catches light cleanly, allowing the hamon activity to read clearly against the body of the blade. At 40.5 inches overall with a 1.26-inch width, the geometry is consistent with classic Japanese katana proportions found across Traditional Katana styles.

The tsuka is wrapped in black cord over a PU white samegawa base, using a traditional diamond-pattern wrap that keeps the grip surface consistent and secure. Gold-tone menuki accents are set into the wrap on both sides, adding small but visible detail points that break the flat black surface with warm metallic contrast.

The tsuba is one of the most visually distinctive elements of this koshirae. Cast in an alloy with a black iron finish, the guard features an open geometric spoke design - thin radiating lines extending from a circular center to the outer ring. A gold-tone oval medallion sits at the hub, engraved with a round relief motif. The black-gold pairing is consistent across the tsuba, menuki, and habaki, giving the entire fitting set a unified color language.

The saya is constructed from hardwood and finished in black lacquer with a crackle or stone-texture surface treatment visible along its length - a finer surface detail that adds depth compared to a flat lacquer finish. The black sageo is knotted at the kurikata in a formal braided arrangement. This scabbard pairs with the overall Bronze Japanese Samurai Swords aesthetic through the consistent use of gold-tone metalwork against the deep black base.

Total shipping weight is 4 lbs, packaged at 42 x 4 x 4 inches. The sword stand is not included. This piece is suited for collectors and enthusiasts interested in koshirae detail, T10 steel construction, and authentic hamon character in a full-length katana replica.
