A katana (the big sword) is a Japanese sword characterized by a curved, single-edged blade with a circular or squared guard and long grip to accommodate two hands. It was used by samurai (military noble officer cast of medieval Japan from the 12th to 19th century) in feudal Japan and worn with the blade facing upward. This allows for a single motion to unsheath and strike an opponent. When wearing a sword with the cutting edge down, the samurai warrior must draw his sword and then perform the striking motion.
Type 440 Stainless Steel, is known as razor blade steel, is a hardenable high-carbon chromium steel. When put under heat treatment it attains the highest hardness levels of any grade of stainless steel. Type 440 Stainless Steel offers good corrosion resistance along with abrasion resistance.
