1095 Katana

1095 high-carbon steel is one of the most popular choices for battle ready katanas. With ~0.95% carbon content, it achieves excellent hardness (HRC 58–60) and holds a razor-sharp edge longer than lower-carbon alternatives.

1095 Steel vs Other Carbon Steels

  • Harder than 1060 — better edge retention for cutting and display
  • More carbon than 1075/1080 — sharper, more refined edge geometry
  • Tougher than T10 — more forgiving for martial arts practice
  • Full tang — all blades are full tang for structural integrity
