1095 Steel Sword

A wonderful 1095 steel sword.

Fusing two timeless colors with significant underlying meaning. Red, the sacred color of Japan, symbolizes passion, spirit and most importantly to the Japanese Samurai, self sacrifice. It is a bold color which mirrors the fighting mindset of the Samurai warrior. And orange, a color conveying creativity, enthusiasm, zest for life and holds a link to the sun, the giver of life.

Equipped with a 1095 steel sword blade, which is a modern, highly refined, iron base-steel alloyed with a high on average 1.0% carbon content, significant manganese, and trace amounts of phosphorus and sulphur. 

1095 is one of the highest carbon content modern steels used for sword-smithing and arguably the best combat sword-making steel available, assuredly forming a very lethal foundational core to this true Katana sabre. 

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 gloss-lacquered scabbard, along with intricate decorative brass fittings – many of which are plated in real gold & silver, complement the red sword handle well. And the hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin & quality cord form a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai hand-grip. 

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