While other commonly used sword steels, such as the 1045, contain only .45% carbon, 1095 steel is valued for its exceptional hardness and edge retention, typically registering between 56-58 HRC on the Rockwell Hardness scale.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFlexibility \u0026amp; Durability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Although 1095 steel's hardness is a strength, its rigidity could be a potential flaw in combat situations. The masterful solution? Clay tempering. This traditional technique involves a strategic application of clay to insulate select parts of the blade during quenching. By leaving the edge exposed and insulating the rest, the blade retains its razor-sharp edge while achieving the flexibility essential to withstand high-impact collisions. The end result? A blade that harmoniously balances sharpness and flexibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCraftsmanship Details\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSheath:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crafted from durable wood and plastic, ensuring protection and ease of draw.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTang:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full tang construction for enhanced strength.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ergonomic wood handle, adorned with a serene blue wrap, offers a comfortable grip and an eye-catching aesthetic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e A blend of high carbon Damascus steel with the solidity of 1095 steel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlue Katana Sword:\u003c\/strong\u003e Embrace the spirit of the samurai with this High Carbon 1095 Steel Sword.
