Katana Sword – 40.5” | Highest Grade Clay-Tempered 1095 High Carbon Damascus Steel
Rooted in the legacy of the samurai, this 40.5” katana is a true embodiment of Japanese sword-making tradition. Characterized by its iconic curved, single-edged blade, circular guard, and extended two-handed grip, the katana has long been revered as one of the finest cutting weapons in world history.
This particular model represents our highest grade katana—expertly handmade, hand-tempered, and hand-sharpened by master smiths and artisans. It features a steel blade crafted from 1095 high carbon steel, known for its exceptional hardness, edge retention, and durability.
Blade Material: 1095 Steel with Clay Tempering
1095 steel boasts one of the highest carbon contents available in sword-grade steel at 0.95%, offering superior hardness (56-58 HRC) and the ability to hold a razor-sharp edge. To offset the inherent brittleness of such high-carbon steel, this blade undergoes clay tempering—a traditional Japanese process that softens the spine while keeping the edge hard. This method increases flexibility and prevents breakage on impact, while creating a visually striking hamon line along the blade.
