Razor Sharp Katana

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, which 1095 being technically a higher carbon content spring steel, is renowned for. 

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 which can be visibly seen on this sword’s blade.

The beautiful gloss lacquered hardwood, along with the intricately decorative sword fittings, complement the overall black Katana color scheme well. And the hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & quality cord form a traditional and effective Japanese Samurai handle grip. 

This modern Katana is a refined and tasteful work of art. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters weapon of war to use.
