Tachi Katana Brownwood

Highly versatile, the Tachi even more so than the modern Katana design was revered as both a Japanese horse sword and a formidable infantry saber.

The most valuable part of any sword is its blade, with this 1095 sword blade certainly forming a premium foundational core of this sword saber.

1095 high carbon steel is one of the highest carbon content steels used for swordsmithing. Arguably the best steel available for Katana sword making, characteristics include a very reliable, hard and sharp battle edge, along with excellent blade elasticity and resilience, which 1095 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 Japanese sword making technology and visibly identifiable on this sword’s blade. 

The dark brown, rosewood scabbard, along with premium brass fittings complement the matching rosewood handle. The hardwood handle acts as a simple, sturdy and maintenance free handle grip, which is not only effective for combat, but also presents in a clean traditional form. 

This 1095 carbon steel sword is a simplistic and high-status work of battle art. It’s highly collectable, presentable, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters weapon of war.
