1095 Sword

The most valuable part of any however sword is its blade, with this 1095 steel sword blade certainly forming a premium foundational core of this true Katana.

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 steel is renowned for.

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 sword’s blade. 

The beautiful black lacquered, hardwood scabbard, along with decorative sword fittings complement the brown handle nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & quality cord form a traditional and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.
