Japanese Dragon Sword

The most valuable part of any sword however is its blade, with this T10 Katana blade certainly forming a very high quality 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 combat sword. 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 beautiful streaky gold, lacquered hardwood scabbard and intricate gold dragon brass fittings complement the brown Katana handle nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin & quality cord form a traditional and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip. 

This T10 high carbon steel Katana is a decorative work of art. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters weapon of war.
