Original Katana, Ancient Japanese Style Sword. Includes Leather Kumihimo Strap

Description: Though newly forged, this Katana is very much like what an original, ancient Japanese Katana would have looked like. Old method forged blade... no bo-hi, no diamond back spine like a Shinogi-sukuri blade, uniform thickness down the blade, etc... just simple, polished, and beautiful. The carbon steel was folded and tempered to about 1070 purity, very hard but still springy for extra strength... polished to a nice shiny finish and sharpened. The Handle is hickory, double pinned full tang, then covered with real ray skin and wrapped Ito Style with black English Leather strap. Handle caps and tsuba are simply decorated solid iron with a baked on black finish. The saya is a very nicely printed beige Japanese Kanji on black leather. Includes the very nice sword bag and multicolor Kumihimo Sling Strap shown. Proudly designed and made by Jesse at Karbon Steele... Kumihimo Strap made by Becky the Artisan. A Lifetime Sword Collector and Bushido Enthusiast, now Kenjutsu Master and Artisan of Building Swords. I am very passionate about my craft work and everything I make is done by hand using old methods. All swords are built from blank blades forged by Expert Forgemasters, sources I have found to be consistent in great quality. I buy directly from the source in bulk, so I can maintain low prices for outstanding quality. There are lots of How-To videos online or YouTube for maintenance and sharpening; just need a kit or some mineral oil and soft cloths, whetstone or accusharp sharpener, and liquid polish or sand paper for polishing. Flitz Polish is good for shining and removing minor scratches and rust, but wet sanding may be needed for deep scratches and big rust spots. Any leather wrap should be occasionally treated to prevent drying and cracking, the blade needs to be occasionally cleaned with mineral oil to prevent rusting... especially after use or sharpening. All swords are Securely Shipped Worldwide in thick Boxes. If you have any questions about my building methods or want more info about the blades, please ask.
