Marble Blossom | T10 Steel Clay Tempered Katana with White Marble Saya

A sword that balances the cold strength of stone with the vibrant life of a blossoming flower, the Marble Blossom Katana is a work of striking contrasts. Its most captivating feature is the white marble-patterned saya, its dark veins sprawling like ancient roots. This is met by the fiery red silk ito on the handle and the intricate, blossoming vines on the two-tone tsuba. At its core is a battle-ready T10 steel blade, clay-tempered to produce a genuine hamon. It is a fusion of nature's art, from the heart of the earth to the tip of the branch.

Why Choose the Marble Blossom?

• Unique White Marble-Pattern Saya: The scabbard (saya) is the star, featuring a high-gloss white lacquer with a black marble-vein pattern. This unique and elegant finish evokes classical art and makes the sword an instant centerpiece.
• The Heart of T10 Steel: A Clay-Tempered Blade: The blade is forged from high-performance T10 tool steel and features a genuine, beautiful hamon (temper line) created through the traditional clay-tempering process. This ensures a razor-sharp, hard edge with a resilient spine.
• Striking Red & Black Handle: Offering a stunning pop of color, the handle (tsuka) is wrapped with a vibrant red silk ito. This is laid over genuine black rayskin (samegawa), creating a powerful, high-contrast aesthetic and a secure grip.
• Ornate Two-Tone "Blossom" Fittings: The koshirae (fittings) are beautifully detailed, featuring a two-tone black and gold finish on the tsuba. The leaf and vine motif echoes the "Blossom" theme, complemented by a uniquely pierced habaki.
