The most valuable part of any sword is its blade, with this high carbon steel sword blade certainly forming a premium core of this true Katana.
Choose between two classic high carbon steel sword blade options;
1 1060 high carbon steel, encapsulating both a high carbon as well as a high manganese content, which both promote a hard, reliable cutting edge, along with 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.
2 1095 high carbon steel is one of the highest carbon content steels used for swordsmithing. Arguably the best steel available for Katana sword making, characteristics include a very reliable, hard and sharp battle edge, along with excellent blade elasticity and resilience. Additionally, this 1095 steel blade is clay tempered, a very difficult process which 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 sword’s blade.
The beautiful, lacquered hardwood scabbard, along with the decorative sword fittings, complement the blue Katana handle color scheme nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & quality cord form a traditional and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.
This Japanese long sword holds a traditional aesthetic. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters weapon of war.
