Stainless Steel Katana

1045 carbon steel, a stainless composite commonly used for training sword construction, is a well rounded, medium tensile steel with good impact properties, strength and excellent toughness. The primary attributes of this unique steel are focused upon the blade’s high sharpenability and toughness, of which 1045 is known for, being an important characteristic for swords withstanding impact without fracturing.

Other positive attributes include, low maintenance & anti-corrosive characteristics, as well as an economically cheap Katana price – important considerations especially if purchasing exclusively for Iaido sword purposes. 

Further promoting perfection of this unique blue steel Katana blade, is the very difficult process of clay tempering. 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.

Assembled with an eye-catching lacquered hardwood scabbard, and solid, functional sword fittings, which complement the overall blue Katana sword scheme nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin & quality polyester cord form a traditional sword aesthetic and a very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip. 

This Katana practice sword is a simple and clean work of combative art. It’s collectable, a pleasure to own and a fantastic Japanese training sword or battle ready weapon to use. Choose from a blunt edge Iaito sword or sharp Katana edge options.
