Historically, a simplistic single edged, Japanese straight sword, easy to make in secret, dark in color and designed for cutting and thrusting attacks. The Ninja sword Katana, along with the unconventional fighting style of Ninjutsu were adopted by the peasant class and later in history use as the Shinobi sword, an underground shadow power that even today is still shrouded in mystery.
The most valuable part of any sword is its blade, with this 1095 steel sword blade certainly forming a high quality foundational core of this Ninjato sword.
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 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 Japanese sword making technology and visibly identifiable through a very special pattern, on this sword’s blade.
The lacquered black and red sword scabbard and premium sword fittings, complement the matching colors of the weapon nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin & quality cord form a traditional and very effective Shinobi Katana handle grip.
This Ninja Katana sword is a collectable piece of modern art. It’s a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters weapon to use.
