PLATINUM KATANA COLLECTION

• Combines Two Steel Types: From 1045 High Carbon Steel up to T10
• Forge Methods: Kobuse-Kitae and Gomai-Kitae

The Musashi Platinum Katana Collection combines two steels using either the Kobuse-Kitae method (combining two types of steels) or the Gomai-Kitae method (three layers of 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 1045 or even 1060 high-carbon steel, this katana is the best of both worlds, keeping a keen edge while maintaining durability. Through the Kobuse-Kitae and Gomai-Kitae forging methods, our Musashi Platinum Katana Collection swords combine a beautifully designed work of art with a skillfully sharp sword edge.
