Tachi 1095 Steel Sword

The most valuable part of any sword is its blade, with this 1095 Katana blade certainly forming a high quality foundational core of this true Tachi Japanese sword. 

1095 high carbon steel is one of the highest carbon content steels used for swordsmithing. Arguably the best steel available for Katana sword making, characteristics include a very reliable, hard and sharp battle edge, along with excellent blade elasticity and resilience, 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 which can be visibly seen on this sword’s blade.

Beautifully and tastefully outfitted with premium scabbard, handle and sword fitting materials, this Tachi is not only suitable for collection and display, but also functions as a two handed, powerful hand weapon – true blade technology built for battle.
