1060 carbon steel katana
Shop wide range of 1060 carbon steel katana from romanceofmen.com. 1060 carbon steel is a popular choice for Japanese sword blades, offering an excellent balance between hardness, durability, and affordability. With approximately 0.60% carbon content, it provides a sharp, hard edge while maintaining good toughness for practical cutting. While it is less flexible than spring steel, 1060 carbon steel performs well against light to medium targets.
This material is particularly well-suited for clay tempering, allowing for a hardened edge and a softer spine, which enhances both cutting performance and durability. Its balanced properties make 1060 carbon steel a reliable and versatile option for katana enthusiasts.
Our 1060 carbon steel katanas are handmade to battle-ready standards, available in various designs and colors to match your style. Most importantly, they are very budget-friendly—you can own one for around $100.
