1095 Katana Carbon Steel

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 Shinken sword blade. 

The lacquered hardwood scabbard, along with the battle-practical steel & brass sword fittings, complement the black sword color scheme well. And the hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & quality cord form a traditional and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip. 

This Uchigatana sword is deadly, and is executed with a simple and classic aesthetic. It’s collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters combat sword to use.
