Katanas T10 Damas
Find our catalog at the bottom of this page
A T10/C105 katana constitutes the highest range in maru with a 1.05% carbon steel, however the blade is suppler and more resistant than a classical 1095. (for more information see : T10/C105). These high tenant carbon blades have an edge that can be easily well sharpened and which is resistant. So, a T10/C105 saber is a real cutting katana (cuts easily a tatami or bamboo) and moreover it is a decorative object. Different layers of steel constitute a damas.

Effectively, to ally the stiffness of a hard steel (hagane, or generally 1095 steel) with the suppleness of a tender steel (shigane, or generally 1045 steel) we stack layers of these steels. So we obtain a damas steel katana which is stiff and supple, and with a particular decorative aspect (see picture). They are perfect sabers to practise katas of martial arts, kendo, iaido, aïkido or some other budo and fighting sports.

From where are coming our sabers ?
Our katanas and Japanese weapons are elaborated in our forges, all of them. There, for some dozens years, experimented craftsmen are dedicating themselves to create Japanese forged steel sabers , and give free rein to their imagination. We verify strictly that every katana is forged according to the rules of that art. Moreover all of our high quality katanas are forged and polished by craftsmen having at least a twenty years experience.

Of course our sabers are not nihontos (realized by Old Masters in Japan) of which price reaches some dozens of thousand €/$. The tsubas are molded, and we do not assume any ritual to give a soul to the katana. We offer this kind of katana (real Shinsakutos) in the menu "Items/Nihontos" of the site. Nevertheless we take care to a controlled manufacture, using old and modern processes, and respecting what represent the katana. Details for the materials used are given on the technical data sheet of the saber. The polishing is hand-made, but with stones, as requested, and not by a grindstone machine ("hand-made by a grindstone machine" is a funny and usual feature of training katanas). A blade to be drawn and handled cautiously, real blade symbol of the Samurai.
Optional : display stand and maintenance kit.
