T10 Katana

The T10 steel katana is the gold standard for serious collectors and practitioners. T10 tool steel (~1.0% carbon) achieves HRC 60–62 after clay tempering, producing a genuine hamon (temper line) unique to each blade — no two are identical.

Why Choose T10 Steel?

  • Clay tempering — differential hardening creates a hard edge and tough spine, mimicking traditional Japanese sword-making
  • Authentic hamon — the visible temper line is a mark of genuine craftsmanship, not an etched pattern
  • HRC 60–62 hardness — exceptional edge retention for tameshigiri and display
  • Full tang construction — maximum structural integrity for battle-ready use
