A two-handed Nagamaki sword.
Not stocked, but rather made new to order, the making of this unique long Katana starts from order purchase date, taking between 15-30 days to complete, after which a premium shipping service will commence.
Evolved from the Odachi Katana and the later Nodachi, into what has been described as a Japanese spear sword, due to its in often almost equally proportional handle to blade length ratio. Somewhat of a hybrid between the Japanese Naginata weapon and a very large Katana.
Purely designed for open-battlefields, this Daikatana or great sword, has the handle leverage and weapon length to decimate enemy combatants armed with weapons such as the standard sized Katana. This very big sword was used for large, sweeping attacks against multiple ground-combatants, and was employed as an effective Japanese horse killing sword against cavalry.
Choose from two excellent, battle ready blade options, 1060 or 1095 carbon steel;
1) 1060 carbon steel blade, which is a modern, highly refined iron base-steel alloyed with 0.6% carbon, significant manganese, and traces amounts of other elements.
It's well known for its almost perfect balance of good blade strength, hardness, toughness, edge-holding capacity, as well as renowned elasticity and excellent resilience, with very similar characteristics to a spring steel sword blade.
1060 carbon steel is without a doubt, one of the most versatile steels available, and arguably the best sword-making steel for a Katana sword saber.
2) 1095 steel sword blade, which is a modern, highly refined, iron base-steel alloyed with a high on average 1.0% carbon content, significant manganese, and trace amounts of phosphorus and sulphur.
1095 is one of the highest carbon content modern steels used for sword-smithing and arguably the best combat sword-making steel available, assuredly forming a very lethal foundational core to this true Katana sabre.
Blade characteristics include a hard & tough, reliable & durable cutting edge, along with desirable blade resilience and good elasticity, which 1095, being technically a higher carbon content spring steel, is renowned for.
Further promoting perfection to this 1095 steel blade option, is the very difficult process of clay-tempering the blade. This process precisely facilitates hardening of the blade's edge, while leaving the blade's core and spine softer and thus resilient. Definitely a marker of advanced Japanese sword-making technology and visibly identifiable on this 1095 Shinken sword blade.
Completed with a lacquered hardwood scabbard, along with solid brass sword-fittings, and a hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin and quality cord handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai hand-grip.
This long handle Katana is lethal, and is executed entirely in fine form. It's highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable war sword to use.
