Blade 51 cm \/ 20.1 in, 4.0 cm wide, about 1.2 kg out of the saya — thicker and heavier than our standard katana line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is T10 tool steel with a workshop-declared midare (irregular) hamon. Tsuka is 35 cm \/ 13.8 in. This is closer to a long wakizashi \/ short katana than to the 67 cm piece above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you are paying for is the T10 hamon, the 4 cm width, and the extra mass — not a painted zinc dress sword.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy this one costs more\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT10 with a visible midare hamon, not a plain stock grind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.0 cm blade width and 0.8 cm thickness — a wider section than the 3.1–3.2 cm blades elsewhere in the catalog.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbout 1200 g without the saya.
