Follow Suit Katana – T10 Tsuchioki Notare Hamon PU Embossed Leather Saya Samurai Sword
Product Introduction
The Follow Suit Katana is retro vintage full‑size samurai warrior sword, fully differentiated from plain shirasaya wood swords, tiger painted katana and floral themed nihonto. It adopts exclusive solid wood scabbard wrapped with embossed vintage PU leather, matched hollow openwork iron tsuba and genuine natural ray skin grip. Targeted at retro sword collectors, study antique decor and oriental warrior cultural art gifts.
The blade adopts premium T10 high carbon steel with traditional Tsuchioki clay differential tempering craft, forming soft continuous notare wave hamon temper line, standard shinogi‑zukuri blade shape without blood groove, real embossed yokote mark, notarekomi kissaki tip, multi‑stage taganeha fine mirror polishing and factory light sharp edge. This sword is only allowed for slow static drawing appreciation; heavy cutting and violent friction will scratch delicate temper grain and are strictly forbidden.
Full mounting accessories include hollow carved iron tsuba, solid copper seppa washers, gold carved copper habaki, polished alloy fuchi & kashira, tiny alloy menuki ornaments. Oval imogata tsuka uses genuine natural ray skin as inner lining, wrapped with thick black moro‑hineri cotton ito. Solid hardwood scabbard fully covered with embossed vintage PU leather, matched thick braided black cotton sageo cord. Equipped with two natural bamboo mekugi pegs to form fully removable full tang, convenient for regular blade anti‑rust maintenance. A lightweight fabric katana storage bag is provided as free accessory; custom blade text & pattern engraving upgrade service is available for extra charge.
