1045 carbon steel - Popular material for samurai and ninja swords

1045 carbon steel is a popular choice for samurai and ninja swords as it offers a good balance between hardness and flexibility. This steel contains around 0.45% carbon, which makes it resistant to breakage while still being easy to sharpen. This makes it ideal for traditionally crafted blades used for both decorative purposes and light cutting tests.

Samurai swords made from 1045 carbon steel are often hand-forged and hardened to ensure an authentic look and functionality. They are characterised by a sharp blade with good durability, even if they are somewhat softer compared to higher alloyed steels such as 1060 or 1095. For beginners or collectors looking for a high quality but affordable sword, 1045 carbon steel is an excellent choice.

Ninja swords, known as Ninjato, are also often made from 1045 carbon steel. These blades are usually straighter and shorter than a katana, which facilitates fast, precise movements. The combination of traditional blacksmithing and modern steel processing makes 1045 carbon swords an interesting option for both martial artists and lovers of Japanese weaponry.
