Orochi's Coil | T10 Clay Tempered Katana with Sculpted Serpent Tsuba

From the depths of mythology, the Orochi's Coil Katana emerges as a tribute to the legendary eight-headed serpent. Its soul is the formidable T10 steel blade, bearing a vivid, wave-like clay-tempered hamon as proof of its fiery birth. The true power, however, lies in the guard—a masterfully crafted brass tsuba depicting the mythical Orochi in its eternal coil, ready to strike. Paired with an elegant polished rosewood saya and an earthy tan silk wrap, this blade is a perfect fusion of legendary power and refined craftsmanship.

Why Choose the Orochi's Coil?

• Master-Crafted "Orochi" Brass Tsuba: The centerpiece of this sword is the stunning, solid brass tsuba, intricately sculpted into the form of the mythical Orochi serpent. This detailed, three-dimensional fitting transforms the sword from a weapon into a legendary piece of art.
• The Heart of T10 Steel: A Real Hamon Blade: The blade is forged from high-performance T10 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, ready for cutting practice.
• Elegant & Traditional Materials: Every detail speaks of quality. The handle features a traditional wrap of tan synthetic silk ito over pure white genuine rayskin (samegawa), providing a superb grip. The scabbard (saya) is crafted from beautiful, high-gloss polished rosewood (Huali wood).
• A True Battle-Ready Performer: This isn't just a display piece. With a full-tang construction and a professionally sharpened T10 steel blade, the Orochi's Coil is a fully functional, battle-ready sword suitable for tameshigiri (cutting practice).
