Fitted with a 1095 carbon steel sword blade, which certainly forms a premium quality, and deadly foundational core to this true Katana sabre.
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 very reliable, hard and sharp battle edge, along with good blade elasticity and desirable 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.
Completed with a lacquered hardwood scabbard, along with solid brass sword fittings, and a hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & quality cord handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai hand-grip.
This Uchigatana sword saber is sharp and deadly, and is executed with fine craftsmanship. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable war sword to use.
