Silver Collection- Steel Types: 1060 High Carbon Steel
- Forge Method: Maru-Kitae
Musashi Swords start with nothing less than 1060 high carbon steel. Found primarily in our Musashi Silver Collection these swords offer a great compromise between strength and edge hardness. Not only are 1060 carbon steel swords able to hold an edge, its primary focus is its durability. Increased durability is used by incorporating traditional Maru-Kitae method of forging from a homogenous steel. | Gold Collection- Steel Types: 1090, 1095, or T10 High Carbon Steels
- Forge Method: Maru-Kitae
The Musashi Gold Collection starts with a minimal of 1090 high carbon steel and moves up to 1095, T10 as well as Damascus steels as bases for the hand forged blades. Forged using the traditional Maru-Kitae method of forging from a homogenous steel. High carbon steel is very hard and must be properly heat treated thus making its forging process extremely difficult. This particular type of steel is exceptional at holding its edge. Every sword from our Gold Collection is clay tempered and full tang to make sure they will perform the way they were designed. Functionality, beauty, and value, our Musashi Gold Collection swords combines beautifully designed work of art with skillfully hand sharpened edges to give you a sword that is hard to beat. | Platinum Collection- Combines Two Steel Types: From 1060 High Carbon Steel up to T10
- Forge Methods: Kobuse-Kitae and Gomai-Kitae
The Musashi Platinum Collection combines two steel using either the Kobuse-Kitae method (combining two types of steels) or the Gomai-Kitae method (three layers two steels). 1095 carbon steel is very hard and must be properly heat treated making its forging process extremely difficult. This particular type of steel is exceptional at holding its edge. When combined with 1060 or even 1095 high carbon steel, this katana is a combination of the best of both worlds; keeping a keen edge while still maintaining its durability. Through the Kobuse-Kitae and Gomai-Kitae forging methods our Musashi Platinum Collection swords combine a beautifully designed work of art with a skillfully sharp sword edge. | Miyamoto Collection- Steel Types: T10 or Tamahagane
Our toughest swords in the Musashi collection come from the Miyamoto Collection. These swords consist of either T10 steel or Tamahagane. T10 steel is a tungsten alloy steel that has an extremely high carbon content combined with a bit of silicon. This makes for an exceptionally hard blade that is impervious to scratches and abrasions. Tamahagane, literally translated means “jewel steel,” is one of the rarest materials used in katana forging. The forging process to create a sword using Tamahagane takes several months to years. Due to its difficulty each Tamahagane sword is as unique as the sword smith that created it and truly one of the must-have swords in any collection. |
