Authentic Japanese Katana – Traditional Tamahagane Blade See photos for smith and region details. This is an authentic Japanese sword, traditionally forged from tamahagane steel and water-quenched, producing a midare hamon (gentle wave temper line). It’s slightly longer than a typical katana, with an excellent polish and a razor-sharp edge. The original fittings were in poor condition, so it’s been remounted with modern hardware. With Japanese swords, the blade is the true centerpiece—fittings are routinely refurbished or replaced, unlike Western swords where the scabbard can sometimes cost more than the blade. This piece is estimated to be between 200–400 years old, showcasing classic craftsmanship and balance. I originally paid $1,700 and am asking $1,400—not trying to make a profit, just need the funds due to personal circumstances. If interested, send me a message and I’ll provide detailed close-ups of the blade and hamon. It’s a truly beautiful example of traditional Japanese swordsmithing.
