1045 is a well rounded, medium tensile steel with good impact properties, wear-resistance, strength and excellent toughness, and is the choice steel for the construction of purely devoted training swords.
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 Iaito sword blade.
Assembled with an eye-catching lacquered hardwood scabbard, solid steel & brass sword-fittings, and a hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin & quality-cord handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai hand-grip.
This Iaito Katana is a pleasure use for Iaido and sword-training, and with its blue Katana blade, a unique & highly collectable piece to own.
