It has a carbon level of .95% which is one of the highest carbon levels for any type of steel. The most common high carbon swords are 1045 steel which only have .45% carbon content in the steel. 1095 steel is known for its ability to maintain an edge and is an incredibly hard steel. 1095 steel typically has a hardness of 56-58 HRC. The problem with 1095 steel is that it is lacks flexibility. Flexibility is critical to sword making so the sword doesn't break on high impact collisions. To increase the flexibility of this steel, clay tempering is used to soften the steel. The clay is thickly painted on the blade to insulates the parts of the blade that we want softened so they cool more slowly during the quenching process. In this case, the clay is painted everywhere except the edge. This clay tempering process keeps the strong and sharp edge of the blade while allowing the rest of the blade to be more flexible. This process optimizes the strength of the blade and maximizes its sharpness creating an incredible strong blade and sharp edge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38;

A quintessential weapon of the Samurai from ancient and feudal Japan, the Katana is instantly recognizable with its distinctive curved, single-edged blade, circular or squared guard, and an extended two-handed grip. Celebrated as one of the finest cutting weapons in world military history by Western historians, the Katana designates a sword longer than 24\".

Boasting a carbon level of .95%, this steel far surpasses the .45% carbon content commonly found in 1045 steel swords. Renowned for its ability to retain a sharp edge, 1095 steel is incredibly hard, yielding a hardness of 56-58 HRC. While 1095 steel is naturally less flexible, which is a crucial property in sword-making to prevent breakage during high-impact collisions, we have expertly addressed this concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo enhance the steel's flexibility, we employ clay tempering, a traditional process of softening the steel. The process involves applying clay thickly to the blade parts that need to be softened, thus allowing them to cool slower during the quenching process. For this Katana, clay is applied everywhere except the edge, maintaining the blade's sharpness while enhancing the rest of the blade's flexibility. This meticulous process results in a blade that optimally balances strength and sharpness, ensuring an incredibly robust blade and a razor-sharp edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSword Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 39\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheath: Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Material: 1095 Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRockwell Hardness: 56-58 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperience the way of the Samurai with our 39\" High Carbon 1095 Steel Katana, featuring a clay tempered blade for exceptional strength and sharpness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Battling Blades","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37405702619308,"sku":"1000000K39","price":349.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2234\/4067\/products\/DSC07249.jpg?v=1604674548"},{"product_id":"blue-katana-sword-high-carbon-1095-steel-sword-samurai-sword-39-5","title":"Blue Katana Sword- High Carbon 1095 Steel Sword - Samurai Sword- 39.5\"","description":"\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlue Katana Sword: A Fusion of History, Art, and Craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA weapon of legend and lore, the katana symbolizes the valor and honor of the samurai warriors of ancient and feudal Japan.

Renowned for its distinctive curved, single-edged blade, circular or squared guard, and long two-handed grip, the katana was considered one of the finest cutting weapons in world military history. The term \"katana\" specifically refers to a sword longer than 24 inches, making this extra-long katana, measuring 46 inches, a formidable piece in any collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Materials:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from 1095 steel, this katana features the highest carbon content commonly used in sword-making, with a carbon level of 0.95%. This high carbon content ensures that the blade maintains an exceptionally sharp edge, with a Rockwell hardness of 56-58 HRC. However, 1095 steel’s inherent hardness requires enhanced flexibility to prevent breaking under high impact. To achieve this, the blade undergoes a clay tempering process, where clay is applied thickly except on the edge. This technique allows the edge to remain incredibly sharp while the rest of the blade cools more slowly during quenching, enhancing its flexibility and overall durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSword Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1095 High Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRockwell Hardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56-58 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTang:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Tang for superior strength and balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crafted from wood, offering a secure and comfortable grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheath:\u003c\/strong\u003e Comes with a traditional wood sheath, designed for protection and ease of carry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMasterpiece of Craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Red Katana Sword is not only a weapon but also a work of art, blending the finest materials and traditional techniques to create a sword that is both incredibly strong and razor-sharp.

Uchiko may then be applied in one of two ways. The most common method is to gently tap the Uchiko ball every few inches along the flat of the blade on one side and then the other. The more traditional method is to hold the blade vertically and tap the ball every few inches along the spine. The fine powder particles will be drawn to the blade while the heavier powder particles will fall past the blade. The powder should then removed from the blade with another cloth wiping over the spine from hilt to tip in one direction. Remember, you are simply removing the powder and excess oil at this point – you’re not polishing nor do you want to scratch the blade. Once the powder has been removed the blade may be inspected, and a new light coating of oil may be applied to the blade, using a soft clean cloth or tissue. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSword Oil- Use the cleaning cloth to wipe a light coating of oil on the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSword Sharpener\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade of high quality white corundum for stone, it is corrosion resistant.

This creates a hard, sharp edge and a more flexible spine, improving durability and producing the famed hamon (temper line) seen in authentic katanas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1508\" data-end=\"1531\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1512\" data-end=\"1531\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1532\" data-end=\"1818\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1532\" data-end=\"1558\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1534\" data-end=\"1558\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1534\" data-end=\"1549\"\u003eSword Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Katana\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1559\" data-end=\"1586\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1561\" data-end=\"1586\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1561\" data-end=\"1580\"\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 39\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1587\" data-end=\"1658\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1589\" data-end=\"1658\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1589\" data-end=\"1608\"\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clay-Tempered Damascus Steel (1095 High Carbon)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1659\" data-end=\"1695\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1661\" data-end=\"1695\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1661\" data-end=\"1683\"\u003eRockwell Hardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56–58 HRC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1696\" data-end=\"1719\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1698\" data-end=\"1719\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1698\" data-end=\"1707\"\u003eTang:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Tang\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1720\" data-end=\"1769\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1722\" data-end=\"1769\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1722\" data-end=\"1742\"\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood with Brass Bolsters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1770\" data-end=\"1818\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1772\" data-end=\"1818\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1772\" data-end=\"1783\"\u003eSheath:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional Wood Sheath Included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1825\" data-end=\"2044\" class=\"\"\u003eThis High Carbon Damascus Katana is ideal for collectors, martial artists, and sword enthusiasts who value historical design, handcrafted detail, and modern steel performance.
