Embody the spirit of a legendary warrior with our historically inspired Katana Sword. A cherished weapon of the Samurai from ancient and feudal Japan, the Katana is renowned for its distinctive curved, single-edged blade, circular or squared guard, and elongated grip fit for two hands. Western historians have lauded the Katana as one of the finest cutting weapons in military history, and now you can experience this iconic blade for yourself.
Blade Construction
Our Katana is meticulously crafted from blended Damascus steel, a heat-treated, carbon-rich material that ensures durability and strength. The blade comprises 11 layers of steel, delivering a Rockwell hardness rating between 55 and 56 HRC for the perfect balance of sharpness and resilience. This composition gives the blade the strength to maintain a powerful edge and the flexibility to withstand high-impact collisions.
High Carbon Steel
We use high-quality 1095 steel, the preferred choice for high carbon swords and recognized for its exceptional hardness. With a carbon content of 0.95%, 1095 steel sits at the top of the range, far surpassing the 0.45% found in common 1045 steel swords. This steel, known for its extraordinary edge retention and hardness of 56-58 HRC, is blended with softer steels to create an optimal balance of hardness and flexibility.
Sword Features
The Katana's full tang construction and wooden handle, adorned with brass bolsters, contribute to its comfortable grip and authentic aesthetic. It comes with a wooden sheath for safe storage and transport. The blade material, Damascus steel, is arranged in a distinctive pattern, highlighting the high carbon steel's unique qualities.
