Red Samurai Sword- Handmade High Carbon Damascus Steel Sword- 40.5"- Katana Sword

Red Samurai Sword, Damascus Steel, 40.5 inches

A full-size katana with a pattern-welded Damascus blade and red fittings. Samurai sword is the everyday English name for the katana: a curved, single-edged blade over 24 inches, a round or square guard, and a two-handed grip. This one is 40.5 inches overall with a wood and leather scabbard.

The blade

The billet starts as eleven pieces of steel: six of medium carbon steel (#43 and #40) and five of 1095 high carbon steel. It is forge-welded and folded five times, doubling each time, to finish at 352 layers. The 1095 gives the edge its hardness and the medium carbon layers give the blade its toughness, which is why the finished piece sits at 55 to 56 HRC rather than being ground from a single hard bar. The pattern is revealed by etching after polishing, and no two blades are alike.
