Equipped with a Wootz steel blade, which is a crucible-mix of predominantly iron and carbon-rich materials, along with small amounts of manganese, silicon, and phosphorus. The crucible-forged process produces distinct characteristics within the steel, including a unique micro-structure and distribution pattern as the steel cools, forming carbon-rich regions, which in-turn contribute to the steel’s Damascus-like patterns.
Wootz steel is one of the highest carbon content modern steels used for sword-smithing, typically containing around 1.7% carbon and is classified as an ultra-high carbon steel. Arguably the best combat sword-making steel available, Wootz steel assuredly forms a very lethal foundational core to this true Katana sabre. Blade attributes include an extremely tough & hard, durable, razor sharp cutting edge, along with excellent blade elasticity and renowned resilience.
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, premium brass sword fittings – with many decorations plated in real gold & 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.
