A custom Katana Masashige build featuring a T10 clay-tempered blade with a flowing Notare wave hamon. The gently undulating temper line gives the blade a distinctive traditional character, while the overall configuration reflects the customer’s individual preferences.
This katana features a clean and balanced design built around a blue, brown, black, and silver color combination. The blade is clay-tempered and shows a visible wavy hamon along the cutting edge, giving the sword a more distinctive appearance.
The handle is wrapped in blue tsuka-ito over white samegawa, while the black floral-cutout tsuba adds contrast to the overall design. Silver-tone fuchi and kashira, gold-tone menuki, and gold-tone seppa and habaki bring additional detail to the fittings.
A brown saya paired with a matching brown sageo completes the look, giving the sword a restrained and coordinated finish.
