Hand-Forged Japanese Katana Sword – T10 Steel, Red Cotton Wrap, Mirror Polished Blade

This hand-forged Japanese Katana sword is crafted with precision using T10 high carbon steel, known for its durability, hardness, and sharp cutting ability. The blade is mirror polished, hand-forged, and oil quenched, producing a razor-sharp edge suitable for cutting practice, martial arts training, or collection.

The blade features a Shinogi-Zukuri geometry with Bo-Hi groove, improving balance while reducing weight, and a well-defined Yokote for authenticity.

The red cotton tsuka-ito wrapping in Hineri-Maki style is tightly bound over natural white genuine rayskin (samegawa), providing both a traditional look and a secure grip. Fittings are decorated with sakura (cherry blossom) and chrysanthemum motifs, symbolizing Japanese culture and elegance.

The red high-gloss saya (scabbard) matches the tsuka wrap and is finished with a red cotton sageo, creating a unified style. The brass habaki and seppa strengthen the blade mountings.

This katana is fully functional with a full tang blade secured by two bamboo mekugi pegs, making it reliable for use while remaining a beautiful decorative sword.

Every sword includes a free sword bag and an authenticity certificate. Custom engraving is available for free in English, Japanese, Chinese, or other languages. For small image engravings, a $20 customization fee applies.
