T10 Carbon Steel Katana with Real Hamon & Dragon Engraving - Black Saya, Gold Tsuba

The 28.74-inch manganese-steel blade is the centerpiece of this katana replica, heat-treated to 62 HRC for firm edge retention and hand-finished to reveal a genuine hamon temper line running the full length of the chrome-tone nagasa. A dragon motif is engraved along the flat, adding visual depth that catches light at every angle. The blade measures 1.259 inches wide and tapers to a cleanly ground kissaki, making it a compelling piece for Gold T10 katana collectors who want visible craftsmanship details rather than plain polished steel.

The tsuka runs 10.62 inches and is built on a full tang core, meaning blade and handle share one continuous piece of steel. Black genuine rayskin (samegawa) wraps the wood core first, providing the textured foundation, then black cotton ito is applied in a traditional diamond wrap - white menuki accents peek through the gaps as seen in the product images.

The tsuba is a gold-tone alloy piece cast in an ornate scroll pattern with raised relief detailing across its rounded rectangular face. The warm gold finish creates a deliberate contrast against both the black tsuka and the chrome nagasa, anchoring the color palette of the full koshirae assembly.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in matte black lacquer at 29.92 inches. A black-and-white braided sageo cord is tied at the kurikata, visible in the detail images with its brown bead accent - the braiding is tight and even. The overall color scheme of black saya, black-white sageo, and gold tsuba gives this piece a clean, high-contrast look suited to Black Samurai Katana display arrangements.

Overall dimensions: 40.55 inches total length, 1.259 inches blade width, 0.275 inches blade spine thickness, 2.8 lbs. Shipping weight is 3.3 lbs in a 42.9 x 3.9 x 3.5-inch package. A complete koshirae-style katana replica finished with documented materials throughout - no vague substitutions.
