High carbon steel samurai swords- T10 steel katanas

You want a more ‘traditional’ forged katana in a mid price range ? Than you should consider one of the samurai swords listed here in this high carbon steel section.

The biggest differences with his little brother (the 1060 steel sword) are the steel, treatment of the steel and the polish. The Jewel forge took T10 steel to construct these swords and they used the traditional clay-tempering process, which creates the Hamon. Once again, fittings, ito and sageo were imported from Japan.

The first stages of the polishing process were done by machine, while the final stages were done by hand to guarantee a smooth mirror finish.
