1095 STEEL KATANA

A popular blue Katana color and a deadly weapon of war. 

Intricate in design, with very high quality brass sword fittings, plated with alluring silver & gold color gilding. And themed with one of the most common colors used by the Samurai, blue.

A Katana blue in color represents a weapon and matching persona of calm, tranquility and above all humility. It is a weapon of the sea and water, treacherous, unpredictable and underlying with power beyond mortal man's comprehension. Although there's no evidence to prove this fact, it is rumored that the vagabond and greatest swordsman in Japanese history, Miyamoto Musashi's sword was either a brown Katana or blue in color.

Perfect for ornamental sword display, this battle ready Katana makes a decorative and captivating collection piece. It's a beautiful Katana that will not only make a unique display martial arts weapon, but will also make a functional, combat effective and very deadly combat sword. 

The most valuable part of any sword is its blade, with this 1095 steel sword blade certainly forming a premium foundational core of this true Katana. 

1095 high carbon steel is one of the highest carbon content steels used for swordsmithing. Arguably the best steel available for Katana sword making, characteristics include a very reliable, hard and sharp battle edge, along with excellent blade elasticity and resilience, which 1095 being technically a higher carbon content spring steel, is renowned for. 

Further promoting perfection, is the very difficult process of clay tempering the blade. This process precisely facilitates hardening of the blade's edge, while leaving the blade's core and spine softer and thus resilient. Definitely a marker of advanced Japanese sword making technology and visibly identifiable on this sword's blade. 

The beautiful black & green, lacquered hardwood scabbard, along with very high quality sword fittings, complement the blue sword scheme well. And the hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & quality cord form a traditional and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip. 

This 1095 carbon steel Katana is a bold work of art. It's highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters weapon of war to use.
