Shinken Sword

Blade characteristics include a hard & tough, reliable & durable cutting edge, along with desirable blade resilience and good elasticity, which 1095, being technically a higher carbon content spring steel, is renowned for. 

Further promoting perfection, is the very difficult process of clay-tempering the blade. This process precisely facilitates hardening of the blade’s edge, while leaving the blade’s core and spine softer and thus resilient. Definitely a marker of advanced Japanese sword-making technology and visibly identifiable on this sword’s blade. 

The lacquered hardwood scabbard, along with solid brass sword fittings complement the black Katana handle very nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & quality cord handle form a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai hand-grip. 

This Uchigatana sword saber is sharp and deadly, and is executed with fine craftsmanship. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable war sword to use.
