- Storing the sword in a dry place, preferably inside its saya.
- Avoiding direct contact with hard surfaces to preserve sharpness and finish.

Behind the Blade

Every katana we offer carries the essence of centuries-old craftsmanship.

More than just a weapon, the katana symbolizes discipline, honor, and mastery.

Our artisans draw inspiration from traditional forging methods to ensure each blade reflects the spirit of the samurai - strength, precision, and soul.

Owning one is not just about aesthetics - it’s about carrying a piece of that legacy.

User Experience

This katana is designed to offer a perfect balance between blade and handle.

Its ergonomic tsuka (handle) allows a secure two-handed grip, while the weight distribution ensures smooth, fluid movement.

Sold for collection and display. Handle carefully when placing on a stand or carrying out maintenance.

T10 / rayskin saya / Ginto

Ginto T10 Katana with a Flame Hamon and Rayskin Saya

Ginto carries its texture from the blade to the scabbard. The polished T10 steel has a flame-shaped hamon, while the saya is covered in the small nodules of genuine rayskin. Black wrapping keeps the handle understated, with gold and silver plating adding detail around the guard and grip ornaments.

The blade

The pointed outline of a flame hamon

The blade specification lists T10 tool steel and a genuine flame hamon produced by clay tempering. Look at the irregular points along the line in the close-up: they give it a different outline from a simple gentle wave. The blade is polished, sharpened and full tang, with a 72 cm blade length.

The fittings

Rayskin on the handle and scabbard

Genuine rayskin sits under the black cotton handle wrapping and covers the solid wood core of the saya. The scabbard opening is amber-colored buffalo horn. The tsuba, handle collar and grip ornaments are listed with gold and silver plating, while a brass habaki sits beside the blade. The raised decoration adds smaller details around the guard.

Compare the saya as well as the hamon

Ginto and Akagane both list a rayskin-covered saya, but their colors, guards and blade finishes are different. Ginto has black wrapping and a bright polished blade. The hamon guide explains the temper-line terminology if you want to compare its flame pattern with Kumo or Shirokuro.

In your collection

Give the textured saya room

A horn-style bronze display stand is included. Position the saya so its rayskin surface and amber opening remain visible, instead of placing them behind the handle. The 105 cm overall length needs a stable shelf with space around the guard and the sharp blade.

Caring for your Ginto katana

Follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above for the blade. Keep the rayskin dry, avoid soaking the saya and use a soft cloth around the horn opening. Abrasive polish can affect plated fittings. Keep blade oil off the cotton, horn and textured scabbard surface.

Ginto katana questions

What is a flame hamon?

It is a temper-line pattern with irregular pointed shapes that resemble flames. Ginto's specification lists a genuine flame hamon from clay tempering, visible in the blade close-up.

What steel is the Ginto blade made from?

The blade is T10 tool steel, with a polished finish, sharpened edge and full-tang construction. The complete measurements are in the Specifications table.

Is the saya covered in genuine rayskin?

Yes. The specification lists genuine rayskin over a solid wood core. Genuine rayskin is also used beneath the black cotton wrapping on the handle.

Are the fittings solid gold and silver?

No. The tsuba, fuchi and menuki are listed with gold and silver plating. That describes a surface finish, not solid precious-metal components.

What is the amber-colored part at the saya opening?

It is the koiguchi, the fitting around the scabbard opening. On Ginto it is listed as buffalo horn.

How does Ginto compare with Akagane?

Both have a rayskin-covered saya. Ginto uses black wrapping, plated fittings and a polished flame-hamon blade; Akagane has red wrapping, a different guard and a darker blade finish.

Is T10 alone enough to judge the quality of a katana?

No. The heat treatment, construction, finish and fittings also matter. For Ginto, compare the listed flame hamon, rayskin saya and plated fittings alongside the steel grade.

Is the sword sharp, and what is included?

Yes, Ginto is sharpened. The katana, matching saya and horn-style bronze stand are included. It is sold for collection and display and measures 105 cm overall.

Good sword, small issue on arrival

Saya mouth was slightly loose when I got it, fitting tape sorted it. Balance is great though. People at my dojo always ask about it.

Way better than I expected

Hamon is clean, handle wrap tight, saya closes solid. Came in a wooden box. No complaints at all for the price.

Nice blade but took 2 weeks to arrive

Damascus looks great. Shipping to Portland took forever and tracking was dead for a week. Quality is there, logistics need work.
