Purple Sword

The most valuable part of any sword however is its blade, with this 1060 steel sword blade certainly forming a very high quality core of this combat sword.

1060 high carbon steel encapsulates both a high carbon as well as a high manganese content, which promote a hard, reliable cutting edge, along with the extremely desirable blade elasticity & resilience. This produces a hard, reliable and sharp cutting edge and importantly, you can be sure the blade and the edge will survive even the most violent combat. 

The black lacquered hardwood scabbard and dark sword fittings, complement the purple Katana color scheme tastefully. And the hardwood, wrapped with synthetic leather & quality polyester cord form a traditional and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip. 

This 1060 carbon steel Katana is a simple and clean work of combative art. It’s collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters weapon of war to use.
