Carbon Steel Katana
Carbon Steel Katana
Shop wide range of carbon steel katana from romanceofmen.com. Carbon steel has long been a traditional material for katana blades, known for its affordability and cutting performance. The carbon content in the steel increases hardness, making carbon steel blades excellent for sharp edges and precise cutting. However, carbon steel is less flexible than spring steel, making it more suitable for light targets.
There are various types of carbon steel, such as 1045, 1060, and 1095. The numbers indicate the approximate carbon percentage, with higher carbon content resulting in harder steel—and higher costs. For example, 1045 steel has about 0.42-0.5% carbon, while 1095 steel contains closer to 0.95%. Carbon steel is also ideal for clay tempering, which creates a hard edge and a softer spine for added durability, and Hamon line for aesthetic purpose.
