Japanese Straight Sword

It’s well known for its almost perfect balance of good blade strength, hardness, toughness, edge-holding capacity, as well as renowned elasticity and excellent resilience, with very similar characteristics to a spring steel sword blade. 

1060 carbon steel is without a doubt, one of the most versatile steels available, and arguably the best sword-making steel for a true combat sword. 

Completed with a lacquered hardwood scabbard, quality sword-fittings, and a hardwood, wrapped with pu-leather & quality-cord handle, forming a practical and effective hand-grip.

This straight blade Katana is deadly, and is executed with quality craftsmanship. It’s collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable Chokuto sword to use.

Optional dull training blade, or sharp battle ready blade selections available.
