This sword is made of 1095 high carbon steel, clay tempered with a polished mirror-like surface, made to look just like Michonne's Katana from The Walking Dead. It is a very strong sword made with traditional methods. The blade is repeatedly heat treated and hand forged to remove impurities. The clay temper process combines the characters of toughness and flexibility and results in a genuine hamon (temper line). The blade is full tang and hand sharpened, suitable for battle. The sword comes with a synthetic leather wrapped hardwood saya with shoulder strap, silk ito/sageo, genuine same' (rayskin) and premium brass fittings. It is a very good choice for dojo and iaido use, gifts, cutting practice, display, and collection. It is durable enough for tameshigiri, bamboo, bones, iron wire, and even zombies.
