1045 carbon steel, a stainless composite steel commonly used for training sword construction, is a well rounded, medium tensile steel with good impact properties and strength. The primary attributes of this unique steel are focused upon the maintenance free, anti-corrosion characteristics of the blade, as well as the economically cheap Katana price – important considerations for an exclusively purposed Iaido sword.
Assembled with an eye-catching orange lacquered, hardwood scabbard, decorated sword fittings, which complement the overall black Katana color scheme nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with white leather & black polyester cord form a traditional sword aesthetic and a very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.
This 1045 carbon steel sword is a simple and clean work of combat training art. It’s collectable, a pleasure to own and a top-of-the-line Japanese practice sword.
