Iaito Blunt Katana

1060 high carbon steel encapsulates both a high carbon as well as a high manganese content, which 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 or training practices. 

The multi-colored, lacquered hardwood scabbard and quality sword fittings, complement the overall black Katana color scheme nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with synthetic leather & quality polyester cord form a traditional sword aesthetic and a very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip. 

This 1060 Katana practice sword is a simple and clean work of combative art. It’s collectable, a pleasure to own and a fantastic Japanese training sword or battle ready weapon to use. Choose from a blunt edge Iaito sword or sharp Katana edge options.
