Forged with folded Damascus steel, which is a mixture of 1045 soft steel, 1060 high carbon steel, manganese spring steel and many more smaller portions of other steels. This mixture is then folded multiple times to remove impurities, creating many hundreds of individual steel layers, finally producing arguably the best sword-making steel available.
The end result after tempering, is a blade with a hard, reliable and unmatched razor sharp cutting edge, along with excellent blade elasticity and resilience against damage. Both of which are very important aspects of any true Katana.
The beautiful rosewood, matching hardwood scabbard & handle material close seamlessly together, forming a sword stick. The hardwood handle acts as a simple, sturdy and maintenance free handle grip, which is not only effective for combat, but also presents in a clean traditional form.
This Damascus Samurai sword is a unique, decorative work of art. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters weapon.
