High manganese steel, or spring steel, encapsulates both a high percentage of carbon & manganese, which both promote a hard, reliable cutting edge, along with the most desirable blade elasticity & resilience out of any other sword making steel. This means the blade is fully battle effective, sharp and importantly, you can be sure the blade and the edge will survive even the most violent combat.
The lacquered hardwood, blood red & white artwork scabbard and quality sword fittings, complement the red sword scheme well. And the hardwood, wrapped with synthetic leather & quality polyester cord form a traditional looking and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.
This modern Katana is a simple and clean work of art. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters weapon of war to use.
