Elegance and Power Combined: The AISI 1095 High Carbon Steel Katana by Ab Sword
Exquisite Craftsmanship:
Crafted with precision and artistry, the AISI 1095 High Carbon Steel Katana is a masterpiece by Ab Sword. Hand-polished to perfection, this katana is a true testament to the dedication of its craftsmen.
The full tang blade is meticulously constructed from 1095 high carbon steel and laminated in a Maru style, ensuring superior strength and durability.
During the forging process, a special clay is applied to the blade by hand. This intricate technique involves a thin covering near the edge and a thicker layer over the rest of the blade, resulting in differential cooling during quenching. The outcome is a hardened edge and a softer back, showcasing the stunning real hamon pattern, achieved through the art of quenching and tempering.
To achieve a mirror-like surface, the blade undergoes meticulous hand polishing with multiple-grade sharpening stones.
Strength Meets Tradition:
This katana features no bo-hi, enhancing its strength and power, making it an ideal choice for practitioners and enthusiasts.
The tip of the blade is a Chu Kissaki (medium length), striking a balance between form and function.
Intricate Details:
The tiger and lion design brass tsuba (guard) is a work of art, complemented by a one-piece brass habaki (blade collar). Two copper Seppas (spacers) securely hold the tsuba in place.
The fuchi (sleeve) and kashira (buttcap) are elegantly made from brass, adding to the katana’s overall aesthetics.
The Tsuka (handle) boasts white genuine samegawa ray skin, meticulously wrapped with coffee-colored chemical fiber ito using the hineri-maki method. Two bamboo mekugi pins ensure the handle’s stability, while two flower design menuki ornaments adorn the handle.
Superior Sheath and Fittings:
This Katana sword comes with a natural hualee hard wood saya (sheath), showcasing its elegance and functionality.
The Kurigaga (knob) and kojiri are crafted from bull horn, ensuring long-lasting durability.
Versatile and Exceptional:
Well-crafted and well-assembled, the AISI 1095 High Carbon Steel Katana is a versatile choice suitable for Dojo students, gifting, and display.
