Shinken Red Katana

It’s well known for its almost perfect balance of good blade strength, hardness, toughness, edge-holding capacity, as well as renowned elasticity and excellent resilience, with very similar characteristics to a spring steel sword blade. 

1060 carbon steel is without a doubt, one of the most versatile steels available, and arguably the best sword-making steel for a true combat sword. 

Completed with a glossy black lacquered hardwood scabbard, battle-functional steel & brass sword-fittings, and genuine stingray-skin & quality-cord handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai hand-grip.

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