Frequently Asked Questions

What makes 1095 special?
At 0.95% carbon, 1095 achieves maximum hardness in the straight carbon steel range. This translates to the finest edge quality and most vivid hamon lines.
Is 1095 better than T10?
1095 excels at pure edge refinement. T10 adds tungsten for enhanced toughness at similar hardness. Both are premium choices with different strengths.
Does 1095 require more maintenance?
High carbon steel is more susceptible to oxidation. Regular oiling and dry storage are important. The maintenance is straightforward but essential.
Is 1095 suitable for display-only collectors?
Yes. Even display-only collectors benefit from the vivid hamon and refined blade quality. Just maintain regular oiling even if the sword isn’t handled.
