Japanese Long Sword

The most valuable part of any sword however is its blade, with this T10 Katana blade certainly forming a premium foundational 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 true Katana.

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 through a very special pattern, on this sword’s blade. 

The hardwood wrapped with genuine stingray-skin scabbard along with the intricately detailed brass sword fittings, complement the overall black Katana color scheme nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin & quality cord form a traditional and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip. 

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