Cheness "Tenchi" Katana - 28" blade WITH (bo-hi) - 9260 Silicon Alloy Spring Steel


The "Tenchi" (Heaven and Earth) katana uses our most durable material for its blade construction.
The blade body is a 9260 silicon alloy carbon spring steel. It is handsomely finished with a cast brass Musashi Double Ring tsuba that is thicker than the standard steel tsubas with an antiqued finish.
This sword has a heftier and more antiqued look and feel than other steel fitted blades.
The 9260 is a silicon alloy which has a significantly increased fatigue resistance compared to standard 1060 carbon steel. The addition of 2% silicon changes the bahavior of the steel drastically for use in a katana.
This spring steel is most commonly seen in application on fencing foils where it needs to withstand a high degree of bend and still be able to return to center.
This is an excellent material for katanas. It is highly durable in most dojo applications and extremely resistant to bending and failures. The use of 0.6% carbon allows this blade to be sturdy enough for tatami omote yet forgiving enough to resist dangerous chipping on rigid targets.
