Uchigatana Sword

Further mysticism is inspired by the sword’s Tsuba. Humbley illustrated with the giant bamboo grass, this plant was revered and admired by the Japanese Samurai for its exceptionally fast growth, towering height, strength and flexibility. A sword fitted with bamboo themed fittings is said to embody this strength and flexibility, along with the aspirational clairvoyance for great achievements in life. 

The most valuable part of any sword however is its blade, with this 1095 steel sword blade certainly forming a premium foundational core of this true Katana. 

1095 high carbon steel is one of the highest carbon content steels used for swordsmithing. Arguably the best steel available for Katana sword making, characteristics include a very reliable, hard and sharp battle edge, along with excellent blade elasticity and resilience, which 1095 steel is renowned for. 

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 superior real stingray-skin wrapped, hardwood scabbard, along with solid brass sword fittings complement the blue handle color very nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & quality cord form a traditional and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip. 

This 1095 carbon steel Katana is a premium work of battle art. It’s a collectable piece, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters weapon of war.
