Characteristics include a hard, reliable battle edge, which will hold its sharp edge for longer than any other steel used for swordsmithing. Furthermore, the blade encapsulates good resilience and elasticity, as one would expect from any combat functional blade.
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 and visibly identifiable on this sword’s blade.
The light blue, lacquered hardwood scabbard, intricately decorative Tsuba and solid brass fittings, complement this modern Katana nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with leather & quality cord form a traditional aesthetic and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.
This T10 clay tempered Katana is a collectable piece of modern art. It’s a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters weapon of war to use.
