Bamboo Samurai Sword

Further symbolism is built into the Tsuba (hand-guard), the sword-component of defense, with the representation of bamboo. Revered and admired by the Japanese Samurai for its exceptionally fast growth, towering height, strength and flexibility, 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 certainly forms a premium-quality and very lethal foundational core to this true Katana sabre. 

T10 steel is a modern, highly refined high-carbon steel, mixed with other trace elements, such as tungsten, manganese and silicon, etc. Its blade attributes include excellent toughness and hardness with a durable, sharp edge holding capacity, along with good blade elasticity and desirable resilience. T10 is one of the highest carbon-content steels used for blade-smithing, and is arguably the best sword-making steel available for a functional combat sword. 

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 – many of which are gilded with real silver gilt, 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.
