Long Handle Sword Nagamaki

Purely designed for open-battlefields, this Daikatana or great sword, has the handle leverage and weapon length to decimate enemy combatants armed with weapons such as the standard sized Katana. This very big sword was used for large, sweeping attacks against multiple ground-combatants, and was employed as an effective Japanese horse killing sword against cavalry. 

Equipped with a T10 steel sword blade, which is a modern, highly refined, iron base-steel alloyed with a high on average 1.0% carbon content, along with small amounts of tungsten, manganese and silicon. 

T10 is one of the highest carbon content modern steels used for sword-smithing and arguably the best combat sword-making steel available, certainly forming a very lethal foundational core to this big sword. Blade characteristics include a hard, tough, reliable & wear-resistant cutting edge, along with desirable blade resilience and good elasticity.

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 lacquered hardwood scabbard, along with solid brass sword-fittings, and a hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin and quality silk cord handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai hand-grip. 

This long handle Katana is lethal, and is executed entirely in fine form. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable war sword to use.
