While other commonly used sword steels, such as the 1045, contain only .45% carbon, 1095 steel is valued for its exceptional hardness and edge retention, typically registering between 56-58 HRC on the Rockwell Hardness scale.Flexibility & Durability: Although 1095 steel's hardness is a strength, its rigidity could be a potential flaw in combat situations. The masterful solution? Clay tempering. This traditional technique involves a strategic application of clay to insulate select parts of the blade during quenching.

A blade that harmoniously balances sharpness and flexibility.Craftsmanship DetailsOverall Length: 40.5"Sheath: Crafted from durable wood and plastic, ensuring protection and ease of draw.Tang: Full tang construction for enhanced strength.Handle: Ergonomic wood handle, adorned with a serene blue wrap, offers a comfortable grip and an eye-catching aesthetic.Blade Material: A blend of high carbon Damascus steel with the solidity of 1095 steel.Blue Katana Sword: Embrace the spirit of the samurai with this High Carbon 1095 Steel Sword.
