Battle-Ready Crimson Oak Blade (1060 Carbon Steel)
Introducing the Battle-Ready Crimson Oak Blade (1060 Carbon Steel), a standout piece in the latest high carbon series from Musashi. This katana is a testament to the art of traditional sword-making, offering unparalleled quality for under $100. Crafted using the Muku-kitae method, this katana features a 1060 high carbon steel blade that is differentially hardened through a clay temper process, ensuring exceptional durability and sharpness.
The blade's real Hamon, formed during the tempering process, is a true highlight, distinguishing it from lesser models that may use wire-brushed or printed Hamon. Remarkably flexible, the blade can bend up to 45 degrees and returns to its original straightness, demonstrating both resilience and craftsmanship.
The artistry extends to the fittings as well; the Tsuba, Fuchi, Menuki, and Kashira are all adorned with intricate bamboo designs, enhancing the sword's aesthetic and symbolic value. The handle is tightly wrapped in black cotton cord over real ray skin, providing a comfortable and secure grip.
This well-balanced sword measures 39 3/4 inches overall, with a 27 1/2 inch blade and a 10 3/4 inch handle. It comes complete with a high-quality piano paint finished hardwood scabbard and a black cotton storage/carry bag, making it a practical choice for both display and use.
Perfect for collectors and practitioners alike, the Battle-Ready Crimson Oak Blade is not just a weapon, but a piece of art that offers incredible value and functionality. Whether you are a seasoned collector or a beginner, this sword will be a cherished addition to your collection.
