The most valuable part of any sword is its blade, with this 1060 steel sword blade certainly forming a very high quality core of this true Katana.
1060 high carbon steel encapsulates both a high carbon as well as a high manganese content, which both promote a hard, reliable cutting edge, along with the extremely desirable blade elasticity & resilience. This produces a hard, reliable and sharp cutting edge and importantly, you can be sure the blade and the edge will survive even the most violent combat.
The beautiful, lacquered hardwood scabbard and quality sword fittings, complement the blue and black Katana scheme well. And the hardwood, wrapped with leather & quality cord form a traditional and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.
This 1060 steel Katana is a both traditional and modern work of art, with a very unique hammer-grain forge and plated blue steel blade. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters weapon of war to use.
