T10 is one of the highest carbon content modern steels used for sword-smithing and arguably the best combat sword-making steel available, certainly forming a very lethal foundational core to this true Katana sabre. Blade characteristics include a hard, tough, reliable & wear-resistant cutting edge, along with desirable blade resilience and good elasticity.
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.
Completed with a lacquered hardwood scabbard, quality sword-fittings, and a hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin & quality-cord handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai hand-grip.
This Uchigatana sword saber is sharp and deadly, and executed with quality craftsmanship. It’s collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable war sword to use.
