9260 steel low budget katana
If you’re looking
for a cheap, reliable tameshigiri sword, take a look at this katana.
This katana is the
newest addition to our collection. They are made by the Konron forge by
using 9260 steel. The flexibility and durability of this blade ,by adding
1,8 – 2,3 % silicon to the steel, does increases markedly when comparing
to the other high carbon steel (1060 – 1070 – 1095, etc )
blades and make them very good cutters.
These katanas are
great for frequent cutting exercises (tameshigiri) . Cutting multiple
rolls of beach mats or Tatami omote , goza, or even bamboo and other medium
hard targets are no problem for this sword. We do recommend the no hi
version if you’re planning to cut Bamboo or other hard targets.
The katana is through
hardened, which means that the traditional clay process wasn’t used
so you won’t find a hamon on this blade.
Although these are
low priced katanas, especially made for those of us who doesn’t
have a big budget available, they do have a very good overall finish and
most of all they are reliable and designed for the Japanese Martial arts
practitioner ! These are not the cheap “wannabe chinakatana”
swords you can find on ebay …
Buy a 9260 steel Konron
katana and you will become the owner of a very light, strong and reliable
katana.
