Features

Hand-Forged T10 High-Carbon Tool Steel Blade
Crafted from high-purity T10 carbon steel, celebrated for its superior wear resistance, exceptional edge-holding capability, and structural resilience under cutting stress. Clay tempering achieves ~60 HRC hardness at the cutting edge while retaining spine elasticity.

Differential Clay Tempering with Real Hamon
Clay tempered using classical Japanese techniques. The cutting edge is rapidly quenched to achieve superior hardness (~60 HRC), while the spine cools slowly to retain shock-absorbing elasticity, revealing an authentic, undulating natural Hamon along the blade.

Traditional Lacquered Solid Wood Scabbard
The scabbard (Saya) is crafted from solid wood and finished with a traditional baked lacquer coating, providing a smooth, durable surface with a timeless aesthetic that protects the blade and complements the Golden Dragon theme.

Golden Dragon Tachi Profile
Featuring the distinctive deep curvature (sori) and elongated silhouette of classical Japanese cavalry Tachi swords, this blade pays tribute to the regal guardian dragon — a symbol of strength, auspiciousness, and imperial heritage.

Full Tang Construction
The tang extends throughout the entire 25cm handle in the classical manner, anchored securely to ensure structural durability, balanced weight distribution, and handling safety.
