Carbon steel high-carbon samurai swords - quality and sharpness combined

Carbon steel high-carbon samurai sw ords are among the most popular blades for collectors and martial artists. These swords are characterised by their high carbon content, which ensures exceptional hardness and edge retention. Compared to conventional stainless steel blades, they offer better sharpness and are more resistant to wear and tear.

A samurai sword made from high-carbon steel is often forged using traditional craftsmanship to achieve the perfect balance between hardness and flexibility. Depending on the carbon content - such as 1045, 1060 or 1095 - the blade varies in hardness and resistance. Higher carbon values ensure an extremely sharp blade, but also require careful maintenance to prevent rust.

Carbon steel is the preferred material for traditional katana swords in particular, as it fulfils the requirements of historical martial arts. Samurai valued these swords for their cutting power and stability, and they are still used today in many martial arts such as Iaido or Kendo.

When buying a high-carbon samurai sword, it is important to take care of it properly. As carbon steel is more susceptible to corrosion, the blade should be oiled regularly and kept dry. This will maintain its impressive sharpness and quality for years to come.

Whether for martial arts, decoration or as a collector's item - a carbon steel high-carbon katana impresses with its authenticity, sharpness and durability. If you are looking for a genuine piece of Japanese blacksmithing, these swords are the right choice.
