WW2 Military Sword

Blade characteristics include a tough, hard and very reliable, sharp battle edge, along with very good blade elasticity and desirable resilience. The process and technique is renowned for smithing the finest combat sword blades, and certainly forms a very lethal foundational core to this true Katana sabre. 

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. 

Completed with an inner-hardwood, steel scabbard, painted in classic army-green, along with superb pure copper sword-fittings, and a hardwood, wrapped with real pearl fish-skin & silk cord handle, forming a truly historical and very practical, Japanese Samurai hand-grip. 

This reproduced WW2 Japanese Katana is deadly, and executed with special craftsmanship. It’s highly collectable, a treasure to own and a formidable war sword to use.
