1060 Steel Katana

1060 high carbon steel encapsulates both a high carbon as well as a high manganese content, which promote a hard, reliable cutting edge, along with the extremely desirable blade elasticity & resilience. This produces a hard, reliable and sharp cutting edge and importantly, you can be sure the blade and the edge will survive even the most violent combat. 

The vivid red, lacquered hardwood scabbard and quality sword fittings, complement the brown Katana handle nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with real stingray skin & quality polyester cord form a traditional and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip. 

This 1060 carbon steel sword is a simple and clean work of combative art. It’s collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters weapon of war to use.
