Bamboo Samurai Sword

A sword fitted with bamboo themed fittings is said to somewhat protect its user with the qualities of strength and flexibility, along with the aspirational clairvoyance for great achievements in life.

Equipped with a T10 steel sword blade, which is a modern, highly refined, iron base-steel alloyed with a high on average 1.0% carbon content, along with small amounts of tungsten, manganese and silicon. 

T10 is one of the highest carbon content modern steels used for sword-smithing and arguably the best combat sword-making steel available, certainly forming a very lethal foundational core to this true Katana sabre. Blade characteristics include a hard, tough, reliable & wear-resistant cutting edge, along with desirable blade resilience and good elasticity.

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. 

Completed with a lacquered hardwood scabbard, along with solid brass sword fittings – with mnay decorations plated in real silver, and a hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & quality cord handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai hand-grip. 

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