Blue Katana Saber

The most valuable part of any sword however is its blade, with this 1095 carbon steel sword blade certainly forming a high quality, and deadly foundational core to this true Katana sabre. 

1095 high carbon steel is one of the highest carbon content steels used for sword-smithing. Arguably the best steel available for Katana sword-making, characteristics include a very reliable, hard and sharp battle edge, along with good blade elasticity and desirable resilience, 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 Japanese sword-making technology and visibly identifiable on this Shinken sword blade. 

The lacquered multi-colored scabbard, along with intricate decorative brass fittings – many of which are gilded in real gold & silver gilt, complement, and color-match the Katana blue handle fittingly. And the hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin & quality cord form a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai handle grip. 

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