Master Katana

The blade is hand forge laminated into two separate sections with two types of steel into an advanced Kobuse laminate structure.

Folded steel, a renowned Japanese sword steel with excellent elasticity & resilience forms the large mass steel core, extending all the way vertically from the blade’s core to spine extremity.

Encasing this folded steel from the vertical sides of the blade, all the way down to the cutting edge, is 1095 high carbon steel. One of the highest carbon content steels used for sword-smithing and perhaps the best steel for Katana combat blade making, producing a hard, reliable and sharp battle edge. 

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 which can be visibly seen on this sword’s blade.

The beautiful hardwood scabbard, wrapped in real stingray-skin, along with the intricately decorated frog Katana fittings, complement the black & white Katana handle well. And the hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & quality cord form a traditional and effective Japanese Samurai handle grip. 

This champion Katana is a refined and lavish work of combat art. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters weapon of war.
