This Katana is constructed of laminated steel similar to the traditional "san mai" method of blade construction. Core billet uses a 9260 silicon alloy spring steel. The core is then wrapped around two billets of 1045 carbon steel. The forged blade is then sharpened to expose the 9260 core as the cutting edge. This Katana is a much stronger and uniquely constructed cutter. This Katana is different than any other "laminated" blades on the market at its price range. The lamination of this Katana could be visually and chemically tested and verified.
