The most valuable part of any sword is its blade, with this 1095 steel sword blade certainly forming a very high quality core of this true Katana.
1095 high carbon steel is one of the highest carbon content steels used for swordsmithing.

The beautiful, deep-red lacquered hardwood scabbard and quality sword fittings, complement the red sword scheme well. And the hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & real leather cord form a traditional and effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.
