Crimson Hitatsura | T10 Steel Clay Tempered Hitatsura Hamon Katana

A blade forged with a chaotic, fiery soul, the Crimson Hitatsura Katana is a testament to the swordsmith's ultimate mastery. Its defining feature is the exceptionally rare Hitatsura hamon, a 'full temper' pattern that engulfs the T10 steel blade in wild, untamed waves of hardened steel. This untamed spirit is housed in an opulent koshirae, from the rich crimson red of the tsuka-ito to the ornate gold-and-black speckled saya. This is not just a sword; it's a masterpiece of controlled chaos, showcasing one of the most difficult forging techniques in Japanese swordmaking.

Why Choose the Crimson Hitatsura?

• Master-Grade "Hitatsura" Hamon: This is the sword's ultimate feature. The blade boasts a genuine and exceptionally rare Hitatsura (full temper) hamon. Unlike regular temper lines, this chaotic, fiery pattern covers a large area of the blade, a feat only achievable by a master smith.
• The Power of T10 Steel: The blade is forged from high-performance T10 tool steel, known for its excellent hardness and edge retention. When combined with the masterful Hitatsura clay-tempering process, it results in a blade of supreme cutting ability and resilience.
• Ornate Gold, Black & Red Saya: The scabbard (saya) is a work of art, featuring a complex lacquer finish with a base of gold and black speckles, accented by elegant red lines. It perfectly complements the sword's luxurious and powerful theme.
• High-Quality Copper Fittings: The sword's fittings (koshirae), including the ornate tsuba, are crafted from high-quality copper, providing a sense of weight, substance, and traditional beauty that alloy fittings cannot match.
