Description: T10 STEEL KATANAA contrasting red and black sword, inspired with a prominent serpent Tsuba. The snake, in some cultures is considered an animal of evil, however this misunderstood beast is regarded in Japanese Samurai society as a symbol of ever-changing transformation, death, rebirth, along with mythological ancient wisdom and real-world traits of physical striking speed and agility. It is said that a Samurai who adorned his sword with snake Katana fittings, both embodies the physical traits along with great wisdom of the ancient serpent.The most valuable part of any sword however is its blade, with this T10 Katana blade certainly forming a very high quality foundational core of this fully functional and battle ready Katana.T10 is the highest carbon content steel used for sword making and is arguably the best steel available for a true Katana. Characteristics include a hard, reliable battle edge, which will hold its edge and stay sharp for longer than any other steel used for swordsmithing. Furthermore, the blade encapsulates good resilience and elasticity, as one would expect from any combat functional blade.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 bold black & red lacquered, hardwood scabbard and high quality sword fittings match the black and red sword handle theme. And the hardwood, wrapped with leather & quality cord form a traditional aesthetic and effective Japanese Samurai handle grip. This T10 Katana is a striking and bold piece of battle art devoted to the serpent. It's highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters weapon of war to use.
