Shogun's Golden Tachi | Clay Tempered T10 Steel & Antique Copper Fittings Tachi

A blade forged for a ruler, the Shogun's Golden Tachi evokes the authority and opulence of feudal Japan's highest commanders. Its soul is a formidable T10 steel blade, clay-tempered to produce a genuine, wave-like hamon. Every fitting is crafted from antique-finish copper, gleaming with a reserved brilliance. The true treasure, however, is the exquisite saya, where golden speckles shimmer beneath layers of deep, dark brown lacquer. This is not merely a sword; it is a statement of power and impeccable taste, worthy of a Shogun.

Why Choose the Shogun's Golden Tachi?

• The Heart of T10 Steel: A Real Hamon 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, ready for cutting practice.
• Ornate Speckled Lacquer Saya: The scabbard is a masterpiece of lacquer art. It features a beautiful dark brown lacquer finish, richly decorated with shimmering golden speckles that create a deep and luxurious look, reminiscent of a starry night.
• Antique-Finish Copper Koshirae: All fittings (koshirae), including the tsuba, fuchi, and kashira, are crafted from copper and given an antique finish. This provides a classic, reserved luster that speaks of heritage and high quality, perfectly complementing the sword's noble theme.
• Classic & Noble Tachi Form: This sword is forged in the traditional Tachi style, the predecessor to the katana. The Tachi's deeper curve and ornate, specialized scabbard fittings were a symbol of rank and status for the high-ranking samurai class.
