Features

Hand-Forged T10 High-Carbon Tool Steel Blade
Crafted from high-purity T10 carbon steel, celebrated among master sword smiths for its high wear resistance, exceptional edge-holding capability, and structural resilience under cutting stress.

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.

Lacquered Solid Hardwood Scabbard
The scabbard (Saya) is sculpted from seasoned solid hardwood, finished with multiple layers of durable protective baked lacquer that shield the wood against humidity and environmental wear while providing a sleek, reflective finish.

Traditional Tachi Mountings
Fitted with classical Tachi hardware including the distinctive Ashi hangers, allowing the sword to be suspended in the historical cavalry manner (edge downward when worn, edge upward when displayed on a Tachi stand).

Full Tang Construction
The tang extends throughout the entire 27cm handle in the classical manner, anchored securely to ensure structural durability, balanced weight distribution, and handling safety.

Maintenance

Handle the blade with clean, dry hands whenever possible. After handling, remove fingerprints and moisture using a soft cloth.

FAQ

Why is T10 steel preferred for swords?
T10 is a premium high-carbon tool steel containing tungsten and silicon trace elements. When clay tempered, it achieves a very hard cutting edge (~60 HRC) while maintaining high toughness in the spine.

What is the difference between a Katana and a Tachi?
A Tachi historically predates the Katana and features a deeper curvature. It was traditionally worn suspended from the belt with the cutting edge facing downward, whereas a Katana is thrust through the sash with the edge facing upward.

Is this sword handmade?
Yes. Individual forging, clay heat treatment, waterstone polishing, and lacquer work are all completed by experienced artisans.

Is this product suitable for display and practice?
Yes, its 1.30kg net weight provides excellent balance for martial arts forms, while its graceful curvature and lacquered scabbard make it a prestigious executive centerpiece.
