High Density Foam: Toy, Cosplay-Friendly, Display Wood: Cosplay-Friendly, Display Stainless Steel: Dull, Cosplay-Friendly, Display Carbon Steel: Less Dull/More Sharper, Cosplay-Friendly, Display High Carbon (Battle Ready): Sharp AF, DON'T USE FOR COSPLAY, Display 1045, 1060, 1095 Carbon (Katana): Ha ha sword go brrrrrrrrr
thank god for this comment, my auntie bought me a MF HIGH CARBON SWORD FOR MY BIRTHDAY AND I GOTTA TELL HER TO REFUND IT BECAUSE THERE ARE SMALL CHILDREN IN MY HOUSE WHO LIKE KNIVES
The 1095 sword looks pretty good. 1035 steel swords though... And there was me thinking 1080 was poor mans steel for knives, to consider the swords under 1050 to be cutting edge sowrds is a bit iffy. I guess swords need to be more flexible. But there are far better options for the steel to use. 1035 won't hold an edge for long. S7 steel has better corrosion resistance also. The workmanship on those swords looks pretty bad as well. The edge close up shows marks and edge height differences as it reflects the light. Handle also looks cheap. If you are gonna buy a sword for display get one that would look good in a posh guys mansion, not one that would be adorned above a teenagers sock drawer. 1060 medium-carbon steel 1075 high-carbon steel 1095 high-carbon steel 5160 spring steel 9260 spring steel L-6 bainite S-7 shock steel But... For the price point I guess they are pretty good.
Absolutely helped me. RUclips videos were a little confusing in describing the differences! Do high carbon steel swords need to be cleaned if they’re often just for decor?
That's so great to hear! They defiantly won't need to be cleaned up as much if they're just for décor, but every few months you should go through the "cleaning ritual" which we'll show everyone on a new video this Saturday :)
@@FireandSteelStudios hey guys I got a battle ready sword an it has the makugi pegs and everything (if I said that right)but it’s blade looks like 2:35
Can i have like sword fight with my friend with battle ready? Cause im gonna buy Sasuke uchiha kusanagi High Carbon steel (Battle ready) it wouldn’t break right?
I’ve purchased a one handed sword that has been used in reenactment and is blunted, it’s got a few nicks on it and was wondering if it is high carbon steel or regular carbon steel, and if there’s a way someone like me would be able to understand the difference, thanks
you don't need construction on a stainless steel sword, they are not meant to swing at all. As long as it holds together while hanging on your wall, it's good enough.
What do u recommend to practice with cause I thought wood but it has no weight so what sword should I use to practice swings and moves. (Not hitting targets)
Hi! Shinais and Bokens are the swords you're looking for, here they are: fireandsteel.ca/products/bokken?_pos=1&_sid=448d0b619&_ss=r fireandsteel.ca/products/shinai?_pos=1&_sid=d02066145&_ss=r
is it hard to ask for a simple hand and a half sword that will actually work as a sword? i been looking all over and found practically 200 dollar or up swords that are just wall hangers but i bough a 30 dollar sword that is so crude i though it would break but instead performed better then a suppose battle ready sword. the sword i bough even had a slight bend for its discounted price but lasted chopping wood all day with no dings.
I am currently embroiled in a feud overseas regarding the untimely death of my first master, Hirun-Soon Mui Khy. I am traveling to Japan to attend his funeral. However, it is possible that during the procession, we may well be attacked by ninjas from the Oruska Clan. Naturally in any such event, I am going to be in need of a katana to fend off the attack. Will your "battle-ready" swords be appropriate for the task?
1045 steel is still too soft and you should have at least 1060 or more if you want a sword that can cut bamboo or mats , 1045 will take a set on bamboo .
You shouldn't hit things with stainless steel swords not because they are blunted, but because they tend to be brittle and an actual danger to use. Also, if it's not full tang, don't even risk it: the blade might fly off the handle. Just some basic safety for absolute noobs.
if you don't oil it, cut tomatoes, and don't clean it, 1 day. If you keep it oiled, don't cut acidic fruits (and don't touch it with your acidic fingers), clean and oil after use, and keep dry, it will never rust.
Yes, it is the grade that we can produce as many high quality swords at a fair price! We only recommend 1095 grade for people who have been professionally trained or plan to get professionally trained with handling swords. fireandsteel.ca
In swords everything is a compromise. 1045 will get dull faster than 1095, but they are more resilient and not likely to break. The harder a steel, the more they keep an edge, but the more brittle they become. Think about how a ceramic knife is super sharp but will easily snap. Anyway, anything between 1045 to 1095 are considered good steels for swords.
hey there, first-time viewer. like it from the get-go. sub. But; you say the reason why you wouldn't recommend using stainless steel swords for target practice is its bluntness. don't see the point, first training sword would be a stick or similar. and you also leave us without a reason for not sharpening stainless steel. you wouldn't recommend it, yes, but why... I see a problem in the softness of the steel, it will not stay sharp. but again I fail to see the issue with hitting targets with a dull sword... but let's finish the video, maybe you deliver it later
Hi and thanks for the comment! :) Honestly, it's all relative. Stainless Steel swords are mostly for decoration. Can they be sharpened and used on a target, like a watermelon though? Sure! The same way you can sharpen a piece of wood and use it to cut through a watermelon. It's just that the Stainless Steel swords are not made for that; you'd be then looking for the Battle-Ready High Carbon Steel versions which will retain their sharpness longer, not to mention those are built for "combat". Hitting targets with a dull sword is actually possible, you're right; please check our "Will It Cut?" videos where we actually played fruit ninja with some of our non-sharp swords. As long as you have a sword care kit to clean them up afterwards and, they should be fine.
No don't do it they might snap and make accidents. Stainless cannot take the amount of stress a blade this lenght will face while cutting targets. ruclips.net/video/v2EQWCpnIR8/видео.html
1045 is low carbon steel barely qualifies for swords like katanas.. 1060 is a medium carbon steel and 1095 is high carbon steel .. but i always prefer t10 steel for katanas ...
We have temporarily paused custom orders due to the pandemic (things are still not 100% back to normal) but we'll let everyone know on our social media once we go back on making custom items!
1045 is not hard enough to cut with, anything 1060 and over are good to cut with and battle ready is just a stupid way to refer to a sword . Anything over 12 inches in stainless steel can snap and you can get hurt, the problem is that stainless is too brittle . If you want a real sword that can be used to cut hard targets go with 1065, 1075, 1095, L6, T10, 5160, 9260 and so on .

I remember when "battle ready" just meant it came with an edge from the factory 😂
You should do some swords from the Onimusha games. I think that's an untapped market, probably because the games weren't advertised much.
Thanks for the help

I needed this I ordered zero 3 swords carbon steel and idk what to sharpen with or if I should
thank you so much for this video. my TT bought me a high carbon steel sword and i can tell her to refund it now xD
I wish you would make a battle ready option for the Alita Battle Angel sword.
Noted ;)

Great video! Quick question, when will we get updates on the purple Enma?
VERY soon! We're so excited! :D

Is it fine for 1045 carbon katanna to be dull since, I’m used to dull swords.
Yes, they are not as sharp as your 1095 battle-ready swords. fireandsteel.com
Is it ideal for me to swing and play around with a wooden sword? Or would the wooden sword just break?
Is it safe to swing, play with etc (not for hitting targets) with a stainless steel sword? Or should I just get a wooden/bamboo one instead?
I’ve purchased a one handed sword that has been used in reenactment and is blunted, it’s got a few nicks on it and was wondering if it is high carbon steel or regular carbon steel, and if there’s a way someone like me would be able to understand the difference, thanks
can you take apart the Stainless Steel swords just to see everything about the sword and its construction???
Thanks for the suggestion, that may be one of our future videos! :)

I second this besides stainless steel might not hold an edge for a long period of time
Yes i was going to comment that
what steel is your carbon steel sword?
1045 grade and 1045-1095 for High Carbon Steel. fireandsteel.com
I like to inquire about your battle ready weapons
Visit our website fireandsteel.ca :)
@@FireandSteelStudios will do thanks
Can you please show off your blood-c sword
How long can it take for the high carbon sword to rust
It shouldn't rust, Dallas. As long as you follow the instructions in this video; ruclips.net/video/GWQgsAg7h_I/видео.html
if you don't oil it, cut tomatoes, and don't clean it, 1 day. If you keep it oiled, don't cut acidic fruits (and don't touch it with your acidic fingers), clean and oil after use, and keep dry, it will never rust.
