The most valuable part of any sword however is its blade, with this 1095 carbon steel sword blade certainly forming a premium foundational core to this true Katana.
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 reliable, hard and sharp cutting edge, along with desirable blade elasticity and good 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 beautiful black lacquered, hardwood scabbard, along with solid brass sword fittings, complement the black Katana handle nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & quality cord form a traditional and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.
Modern, collectable and a fully functional Katana in every respect.
