Display Katana

The most valuable part of any sword however is its blade, with this T10 Katana blade certainly forming a premium foundational core of this fully functional and battle ready Katana. T10 is the highest carbon content steel used for sword making and is arguably the best steel available for a true Katana.

Characteristics include a hard, reliable battle edge, which will hold its edge and stay sharp for longer than any other steel used for swordsmithing. Furthermore, the blade encapsulates good resilience and elasticity, as one would expect from any combat functional blade.

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 sword’s blade.

The blade is finished with a mirror-like high shine. It’s very beautiful to look at and makes a phenomenal Katana sword for display purposes. This unique blade finish along with its intricate gold & silver gilded brass fittngs, very highly quality scabbard and handle, make this sword particularly valuable for ceremonial sword purposes and prized collection.

Attention; while this sword’s blade shines like no-other, the shiny surface can be frayed & scratched easily if used or handled with carelessness. This does not affect the battle functionality of the sword, however the seemless high-shine aesthetic can be affected.
