Katana - T10 Clay Tempered – Shinogi-Zukuri with Silk Wrap

T10 Clay Tempered Katana – Shinogi-Zukuri with Silk Wrap

This T10 clay tempered katana is a high-quality handmade samurai sword, forged from T10 high carbon steel and traditionally clay tempered to achieve a natural visible hamon. This differential hardening provides an excellent balance between edge hardness and overall blade durability.

The classic Shinogi-Zukuri blade shape is the most widely used form for functional Japanese swords, known for its strength, cutting efficiency and balanced handling. The tsuka is mounted with genuine ray skin (samegawa) and finished with a silk-wrapped grip, offering both comfort and refined aesthetics.

Ideal for Tameshigiri, Iaido, Kenjutsu, or as a premium collector piece.
