Japanese Straight Sword

1060 high carbon steel encapsulates both a high carbon as well as a high manganese content, which both promote a hard, reliable cutting edge, along with the extremely desirable blade elasticity & resilience. This produces a hard, reliable and sharp cutting edge and importantly, you can be sure the blade and the edge will survive even the most violent combat. 

The red & gold lacquered hardwood scabbard and beautiful sword fittings, complement the red sword color scheme nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with leather & polyester cord form a traditional and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.
