The most valuable part of any sword however is its blade, with this 1060 steel sword blade certainly forming a very high quality core of this combat sword.
1060 high carbon steel encapsulates both a high carbon as well as a high manganese content, which both promote a hard, reliable cutting edge, along with the extremely desirable blade elasticity & resilience.

The beautiful, multi-color speckled, lacquered hardwood scabbard and quality sword fittings, complement the sword well. And the hardwood, wrapped with synthetic leather & quality polyester cord form a traditional looking and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.
