Tachi Katana Brownwood

1095 high carbon steel is one of the highest carbon content steels used for sword-smithing. Arguably the best steel available for sword-making, characteristics include a very reliable, hard and sharp battle edge, along with good blade elasticity and resilience, which 1095 being technically a higher carbon content spring steel, is renowned for. 

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 sword-making technology and visibly identifiable on this Shinken sword blade.

Completed with a natural brown rosewood scabbard, along with solid brass sword-fittings, and a matching rosewood handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.

This Tachi is lethal, and is executed with exceptional craftsmanship. It’s highly collectable, a treasure to own and a formidable war sword to use.
