Blade characteristics include a hard & tough, reliable & durable cutting edge, along with desirable blade resilience and good elasticity, 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 lacquered hardwood scabbard, along with the brass sword fittings – many of which are plated in real gold & silver, complement the green Katana handle fittingly. And the hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin & quality cord form a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai hand-grip.
This Uchigatana sword saber is sharp and lethal, and executed entirely with fine craftsmanship. It’s collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable war sword to use.
