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.
The lacquered hardwood scabbard and quality sword fittings complement the weapon fittingly. And the hardwood, wrapped with leather & quality polyester cord form a traditional and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.
This 1060 carbon steel Katana is essentially a simple weapon purposed solely for battle, albeit with its distinctive half Sakabato reverse blade. It’s certainly practical and a real pleasure both own and use.
