T10 Carbon Steel Katana with Real Hamon in Green Rayskin Saya - Dragon Tsuba, Full Tang
- Blade forged from T10 carbon steel with a genuine hamon line visible along the edge, delivering a sharp contrast between hardened edge and softer spine - overall length 40.55 in, weight 2.8 lb.
- Full-tang construction runs the blade steel through the entire handle length, providing balanced weight distribution and structural integrity across the 40.55-inch overall profile.
- Handle wrapped in genuine white samegawa (ray skin) beneath forest-green ito cord in traditional diamond pattern - gold menuki accents are visible through the wrap at evenly spaced intervals.
- Green pearl rayskin saya with matching dark-green sageo cord tied in an ornamental knot at the koiguchi - the textured rayskin surface adds grip and protects the blade when sheathed.
- Black copper tsuba with raised gold dragon motif in koshirae style, flanked by a warm amber seppa and gold-tone habaki - the dragon theme continues as engraving detail on the blade itself.

Product Details
The blade on this katana is hand-forged from T10 carbon steel, a high-carbon tool steel prized for its edge retention and visible grain structure after heat treatment. The hamon - the temper line running along the cutting edge - is genuine, produced through differential hardening rather than acid etching. Up close, the misty, cloud-like activity along the hamon reveals the steel's layered character and the skill of the smith who shaped it. Blade length sits at 40.55 inches overall, with a width of 1.259 inches and spine thickness of 0.275 inches. Total weight is 2.8 lb.
The tsuka uses a full-tang construction, meaning the steel core runs the full length of the handle for solid, uninterrupted structural integrity. Beneath the wrap, genuine white samegawa provides a slightly textured base layer that prevents the ito from shifting under the hand. The outer wrap is dark forest-green cord wound in the traditional diamond (hishigami) pattern, with gold menuki ornaments peeking through the wrap at evenly spaced intervals - a detail clearly visible in the product images.
The tsuba is cast copper finished in black with a bold raised dragon design highlighted in gold - a koshirae-style fitting that reflects classic samurai sword furniture. An amber-toned seppa sits between tsuba and habaki, adding a warm color contrast against the gold-tone habaki that seats flush against the blade. The dragon motif on the tsuba is echoed by engraving detail carried onto the blade itself, giving the piece a unified thematic identity throughout its fittings.
The Real Rayskin Saya Japanese Samurai Swords category this piece belongs to reflects the quality of its scabbard: the saya is wrapped in green pearl rayskin, with a fine, dense nodule texture characteristic of genuine samegawa. A dark-green sageo cord is tied at the koiguchi in an ornamental knot, matching the tsuka ito color for a cohesive green-and-gold aesthetic from tip to chape.
At 2.8 lb and 40.55 inches, this katana sits in a practical weight and length range for display mounting or study. Packaged at 42.9 x 3.9 x 3.5 inches and 3.3 lb shipping weight, it arrives ready for wall display or koshirae study. For collectors building out a Japanese sword collection, this piece pairs well with others in the Green Samurai Sword series.
