Japanese Samurai Sword T10 Steel Clay Tempered HIRA-ZUKURI Blade Iron Tsuba

The blade body of the Katana is a hand clayed and differentially heat treated T10 carbon steel. The gain from the clay hardening is that the blade has a smooth and elegant natural hamon (beautiful curves). The hamon is authentic all the way up to the tip. This steel is stronger than our normal katana. We recommend the use of through clay tempered (hardened) blades for cutters as they will be more predictable and constant in performance. The blade features NO-hi and HIRA-ZUKURI kissaki. The Tsuba begins with a brass one piece Habaki. Two copper Seppas secure the blade of the sword. The Tsuba is made with iron. The tsuka (wooden core) has very tight hinerimaki (handle wrapping) using black ito over genuine white samegawa ray skin. The tang is secured by two bamboo Mekugi. The fuchi and kashira are iron. The saya of the sword is wooden with a black high gloss finish. The black sageo is tied over brass shitodome.
