T10 High-Carbon Steel Blade
T10 is a high-carbon tool steel with about 1% carbon. After heat treatment, it develops high hardness and wear resistance. A T10 blade therefore has a hard, stable edge that better resists rolling, deformation, and wear during cutting.

Description

Glacier Fang T10 Clay-Tempered Katana

Quick answer: Glacier Fang pairs a clay-tempered T10 high-carbon steel blade with full-tang construction and a blue ice-pattern solid-wood saya. The blade is hand-forged in Bizen Osafune, Japan; the fittings are made and the sword is assembled in Longquan, China.

Designed for buyers comparing blade steel, heat treatment and mounting materials, this model has a 72 cm blade, 0.7 cm blade thickness and 103 cm overall length. Choose SHARP or DULL according to your intended use; both versions use the same steel, heat treatment and fittings, with edge condition as the only difference.

Our Craft & Heritage

Authentic Katana
Osafune, Okayama, Japan
Established in 1996
2,000+ Katana Creations

Each Authentic Katana begins in Osafune, Okayama — a place with a long history of Japanese swordmaking. Here, the sword’s design, proportions and specifications are developed, and each blade is hand-forged before continuing its journey to our workshop in Longquan.

In Longquan, the fittings are crafted to the original specifications and paired with the forged blade for final fitting and assembly. Each katana is crafted only after an order is placed, rather than pulled from pre-made stock, and is fully functional — built for collecting, display, practice and cutting.
