1095 Steel Sword Tachi

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 sword saber. 

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 sword-making technology and visibly identifiable on this Shinken sword blade.

Beautifully completed with a lacquered hardwood scabbard, along with solid brass fittings, and a hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & quality cord handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai hand-grip.

This Tachi is deadly, and is executed with expert craftsmanship. It’s highly collectable, a treasure to own and a formidable war sword to use.
