The most valuable part of any sword however is its blade, with this 1095 steel sword blade certainly forming a high quality foundational core of this true Katana.
1095 high carbon steel is one of the highest carbon content steels used for swordsmithing. Arguably the best steel available for Katana sword making, characteristics include a very reliable, hard and sharp battle edge, along with excellent blade elasticity and 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 through a very special pattern, on this sword’s blade.
The beautiful lacquered hardwood scabbard, along with the beautifully silver & gold gilded brass sword fittings, complement the overall green color scheme well. And the hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & quality cord form a traditional and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.
This 1095 steel Katana is a striking and detailed work of art. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters weapon of war.
