Clay treatment has to be operated by professional to be efficient. You can actually see the difference in hard and soft metal because there is a visible temper line on the blade, also called the hamon (beautiful curves). The edge of the blade still retains more of its hardness than the rest of the sword because of the clay-tempering process that it went through. Clay-Tempered is the process of using clay to insulate the parts of the metal that you want softened so that when the sword is heated and quenched, they cool more slowly. ![]() This blade is 1095 high carbon steel with clay tempered. It will rust easily if not clean and dry the blade thoroughly, it depends who makes and treats the steel.0.95% carbon is a lot of carbon in the metal though, it doesn't bend all that well, even after tempering.Extreme hardness, workability, easy sharpening, not too expensive and performs well.Provides reasonably toughness, more durability, holds an edge well.When tempered properly, 1095 steel is great for swords as when it is clay tempered. 1095 Carbon steel is very HARD - and unless it is properly heat treated, this hardness can sometimes be problematic when used on harder targets. Toughness, hardness and durability make 1095 steel the most-popular choice for swords. It offers the highest carbon content, it yields the sharpest edge. 1095 qualifies as a high-carbon hardened steel. BL02: 1095 High Carbon Steel Bladeġ095 is sort of the "standard" carbon steel, it is categorized on the basis of 0.95% carbon. Other steel also offers the same hardness such as 9260 steel, but also more flexibility.1060 steel will probably not make it hard enough, it will bend easily and not keep an edge.Has the lowest practical carbon content of 0.60%.Can be folded to create thousands of layers.Can cut through water filled bottles, tatami, fresh green bamboo etc.Affordable prices, some models are sold around US $90+, including shipping.Simple steel, easy to use during play or practice, easy to maintain.The steel offers a good compromise between hardness and pliability. ![]() Manganese is added to prevent this blade from rusting, but It is not stainless though and steel needs to be oiled and maintained regularly. ![]() It offers a great compromise between hardness (edge holding ability) and pliability (strength), so 1060 Carbon Steel swords are very popular. 1060 steel is inexpensive and relatively easy to grind and work with. A sword made from stainless steel is almost for decoration or kitchenware, we have no stainless steel blades.ġ060 carbon steel is a fairly basic steel with only Carbon and Manganese added to the Iron, has the lowest practical carbon content of 0.60%. It just depends on what you are looking for in a blade, what you like and your intended usage. Please make up your own mind on what types of steel best suit your preference (and budget) in a sword.
