Steel Katana Sword




I want to buy my husband a Katana Samurai sword?

i have heard him talk about them all the time he even has a few that he paid way more then I would expect for them but I dont know any thing about them I have even heard of him talking something about 1040-1095 Carbon Steel and HRC60 & HRC40 what is this mean when it comes to buying a sword. and what is a good one to get him. not the best one but something that he could really use for cutting tatami and to train with in his dojo

Hi there

Check out these guys. They make real live blades that are Hand Made in a forge. They don’t look special but the blades are as tough as old boots and are designed for tatami cutting exercise.

Read the sword guide on their page. It will explain the difference between the katanas that are used for kata and the ones for cutting. Plus it breaks down the metal types used.

Best wishes
