Straight Katana Sword

T10 steel is a modern, highly refined high-carbon steel, mixed with other trace elements, such as tungsten, manganese and silicon, etc. Its blade attributes include excellent toughness and hardness with a durable, sharp edge holding capacity, along with good blade elasticity and desirable resilience. It is one of the highest carbon-content steels used for blade-smithing, and is arguably the best sword-making steel available for a functional combat sword. 

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 Shinken sword blade. 

Completed with a lacquered hardwood scabbard, quality sword-fittings, and a hardwood, wrapped with real leather & quality cord handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective hand-grip.

This straight blade Katana is lethal, and is executed with quality craftsmanship. It’s collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable war sword to use.
