Unearth the spirit of ancient and feudal Japan with our premium Katana. Historically, these swords, also known as Samurai swords, were the noble weapons of the samurai warriors. A Katana is distinct in its design - a curved, single-edged blade, a circular or squared guard, and a long grip designed for two-handed use. Recognized as among the finest cutting weapons in world military history, our Katana maintains this tradition of excellence. This particular piece exceeds 24" in length, coming in at a substantial 40.5".
Blade Craftsmanship
Our Katana is made from 1095 steel which accurately matches the very hard steel content of ancient rapier swords. Currently, 1095 steel is the highest carbon steel commonly used in swords. 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. While lacking flexibility, the steel excels at remaining sharp even through high impact collisions and can easily be resharpened.
Handle and Sheath
The handle is skillfully made from wood and adorned with brass bolsters, providing a comfortable yet secure grip. The sword comes complete with a traditional wooden sheath for protection and easy storage.
