Black Samurai 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 Shinken sword blade. 

The black lacquered, hardwood scabbard, along with the battle-practical steel & brass sword fittings, complement the black sword color scheme appropriately. And the hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & quality cord form a traditional and very effective Japanese Samurai handle-grip. 

This Uchigatana sword is deadly, and is executed with a simple and classic, dark sword aesthetic. It’s collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters combat sword to use.
