Champion Sword

The most valuable part of any sword is its blade, with this genuine folded Katana blade, certainly forming a deadly & very practical core standard, to this fully battle ready Katana.

Forged with folded steel, which is a mixture of 1095 & 1060 high carbon steel, manganese spring steel, 1045 soft steel and many more smaller portions of other steels. This mixture is then folded multiple times to remove impurities, creating many hundreds of individual steel layers, finally producing arguably the best sword-making steel available, a technique renowned for smithing the finest combat Katana blades.

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 sword-making technology and visibly identifiable on this Shinken sword blade.

Beautifully completed with a hardwood scabbard, plus 3x buffalo horn inserts, along with solid brass fittings – many of which are gilded in real gold & silver gilt, and a hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & quality cord handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.

This Uchigatana sword is deadly, and is executed entirely in fine form. It’s collectable, a treasure to own and a formidable close quarters combat sword to use.
