Description
Performance Katana – Shadow Veil | T10 High Carbon Clay Tempered Blade | Black Lacquer Saya | Genuine Black Rayskin
This katana is crafted with a T10 high-carbon steel blade, clay tempered using traditional methods to produce a natural hamon, offering an excellent balance of hardness, resilience, and cutting performance. Designed for tameshigiri (test cutting) and martial arts practice, it delivers reliable edge retention while maintaining durability for repeated use.
The blade features a clean, well-defined geometry with a polished edge that emphasizes cutting precision. A single bo-hi (fuller) reduces overall weight and improves balance, generating clear tachikaze feedback during swings and enhancing handling responsiveness.
The fittings are kept intentionally restrained, allowing the blade to remain the focal point. The iron tsuba’s openwork design adds visual depth without excess ornamentation, reinforcing a sense of controlled strength and practicality.
The black lacquered saya provides a sleek, understated finish, paired with a matching sageo for a cohesive appearance. The tsuka is wrapped with PU leather ito over genuine black rayskin, offering a secure grip and traditional aesthetics while remaining practical for regular training.
An ideal choice for practitioners and collectors seeking a functional, no-nonsense katana that combines traditional heat treatment with modern reliability and a clean, minimalist presentation.
Swords holder or stand sold separately.
