#1095 High Carbon Steel
Text
Scorpion – Dark Filipino Ginunting with Sheath
Ginuntings are the official swords of the Philippine Marines. Filipino warriors chose them because they could cut through anything and everything! The Ginunting is easier to use as a utility tool, as jungle bolos for clearing brush, slaughter tools for hunting, chopping small pieces of wood for fire, making it the best weapon to carry. It is common to see a Ginunting along with M16s used for war in the jungles of the Philippines. This short and versatile weapon designed with a downward curving blade makes it the perfect weapon for close encounters. Our heat treated full tang handmade Dark Filipino Ginunting is extremely durable and virtually indestructible.
The blade is crafted from 1095 high carbon steel which has been expertly tempered to a 57 HRc hardness and finished with a darkened blued finish. It is made as robustly as is possible with its blade and tang being made from a single solid piece and is finished with black linen micarta composite grip scales which are solidly riveted directly to the tough blade tang. Included is a leather sheath to complete the sword.

if you want very good knives and you don't give a fuck about fancy + understand the care requirements of high carbon steel check out Ontario Knife company I have their 7" 1095 meat cleaver and that thing is a fucking beast.
I can power through a pork shoulder joint and then shave some meat without retouching the blade and I use it for weeks this way between sharpenings.
That's just the amazon pic not mine but it's as pictured about 3/4 of a pound and shipped sharp as fuck.

The Legendary Weapon in One Piece: Roronoa Zoro's Enma Sword
High-Quality Material and Exquisite Craftsmanship
Roronoa Zoro's Enma sword stands out as a remarkable legendary weapon in the world of 'One Piece' Crafted from high-quality 1095 carbon steel and meticulously clay tempered, it boasts exceptional sharpness and durability. The blade of the Enma is forged from 1095 carbon steel, renowned for its outstanding edge retention and resilience. Its unique carbon content sharpens the blade to effortlessly cut through almost any object. Through clay tempering, the blade becomes even more robust while retaining flexibility, endowing the Enma not only with incredible strength but also outstanding wear resistance.
The Mystery of Tempering
The remarkable sharpness and resilience of the katana are attributed to the tempering process. Clay tempering, an ancient and mysterious technique, involves applying clay of varying thicknesses to different parts of the blade, resulting in differential cooling rates during quenching and enhancing the hardness and toughness of the blade. This technique not only sharpens the blade of the katana but also grants it formidable striking power and durability.
A Timeless Treasure
The clay tempering technique has endowed Zoro's Enma Sword with unique advantages, making it a coveted treasure for collectors. This ancient and mysterious craft not only enhances the sword's appearance and performance but also adds depth to its historical and cultural significance. With its exquisite craftsmanship and captivating allure, the Enma captivates countless collectors, becoming an indispensable item in their collections.
At various events, fans participate in sword demonstrations, showcasing their skills and paying tribute to the legendary battles depicted in ’One Piece‘. Some conventions even host sword-centered competitions, giving enthusiasts the chance to display their creativity and passion for these iconic anime weapons. Overall, Roronoa Zoro's swords hold a significant place in the hearts of anime fans. Their impact on anime swordsmanship, the enthusiasm of collectors for related merchandise, and the celebration of their legend at anime events all contribute to the enduring popularity of these beloved weapons. Roronoa Zoro's swords in ’One Piece‘ remain symbols of strength and courage, leaving an indelible mark on the anime world.

How to Tell if a Sword is Functional: A Helpful Guide from Medieval Collectibles
When choosing a sword, it is important to determine if it is suitable for your intended use. You may be looking for a medieval sword to use in an intense reenactment or one to display on a wall. These are two very different requirements for a sword. Medieval Collectibles is here to provide you with a guide to swords to help you figure out if a sword is functional, also known as battle ready. The name of the item may help you. For example, we offer swords that have the word decorative in their name. Also, any sword with LARP in the name is made of foam and intended for roleplaying.
We’ve also made it easy to shop functional and decorative swords by dividing them into separate categories on our site:
Functional Swords
Decorative Swords
Sword Material
Certain materials, especially certain types of steel, can immediately categorize a sword as decorative or functional. Stainless steel swords are almost always decorative. They are rarely functional. This type of sword is best suited for display or costume use. Medium carbon steel swords can be either functional or decorative. The functionality depends on the construction process, especially regarding the forging process. 1045 carbon steel is an example of medium carbon steel that can be used for functional swords. We have multiple battle-ready swords made from 1045 steel. Other medium carbon steel swords may not be functional. Those swords are best suited for the same purposes as stainless steel swords.
Another type of steel that you may come across is spring steel. This is a type of carbon steel and can be functional as well. Spring steel has a resistance to bending and snapping, making it ideal for certain sword uses. 1566 steel is a type of spring steel. Finally, there are types of high carbon steel. High carbon steel swords are usually functional swords. Many high-carbon steel blades make great swords for historical reenactments. Types of high carbon steel include 1095, 1065, and 1060 as well as T10 and 65 Mn. We have a variety of high-carbon steel swords.
Sword Construction
When looking at a sword on our site, you may see the words tempered, hardened, or heat-treated. Any of these words will help to indicate that the sword may be functional. Some swords will be tempered but are intended for decorative use. Next, some battle-ready swords will indicate to what level of hardness that they have been tempered. You will see this indicated with the letters HRC next to a number. This refers to a rating on the Rockwell scale. The higher the rating on the Rockwell scale, the better a blade will hold its edge. The lower the rating, the less brittle the steel will be, generally speaking.
Another phrase to pay attention to is the words "full tang". A full tang means that the blade continues all the way through the handle. A battle-ready sword has a full tang so that the blade does not easily separate from the handle during combat. There are two types of tangs: peened and threaded. A threaded tang means that the pommel is screwed onto the tang. A peened tang means that the tang was hammered and heated at the tip of the pommel. A peened tang is often sturdier than a threaded tang, but both are effective. A fully functional sword should have both a full tang as well as a tempered or hardened construction.
Sharpened vs Unsharpened Swords
A sharpened sword is almost always a functional sword. However, this is not always the case in reverse. A functional sword may come unsharpened. The fact that a sword is functional does not necessarily mean that the sword is sharpened. We have multiple swords that are fully functional but do not come with a sharpened edge. This selection includes swords that have a factory edge, which are not sharp. None of our swords have a razor-sharp edge.
Some swords are offered in both sharpened and unsharpened versions, like our Darksword Armoury swords. Many functional swords meant for full contact combat can be sharpened by the user after purchasing them as we do not offer a sharpening service. Other functional swords are designed to not have a sharp edge because of their intended use, such as swords for stage combat or practice swords.
Uses of Functional Swords
Functional swords are useful for a wide variety of purposes and activities. Some swords are full combat. Skilled users can wield them in combat-based historical reenactments. These may have sharp edges and are best suited for combat with protective gear. Other swords may be used for stage combat. These weapons are meant for controlled combat. They often do not have sharpened edges and allow the option of wearing lighter or minimal protective gear.
Other types of functional swords are sparring and training swords. These swords are often used to practice swordsmanship skills. They are especially useful for Historical European Martial Arts, also known as HEMA, and other live sword combat events. Many functional blades for this purpose often do not have a sharp tip. Therefore, this type of medieval sword would be ill-suited for full-contact combat.
Overall, Medieval Collectibles have a wide variety of swords. Some are functional, while others are decorative. Understanding whether a sword is functional and for what purpose it is used is important to ensure that you are satisfied with your sword. We hope this guide helps you in determining what sword will work best for you.
Check out all the swords we have to offer here.

Kunai Knife Types: Their Uses and Benefits!
The kunai knife is the most iconic ninja weapon. These short, infinitely useful knives are ninjas' primary close-combat weapons, and they're concealed in a sheath that attaches to a ninja's belt that often has other specialized equipment attached to it. The unique kunai design features a sharp point at the end of the handle with serrations for basic cutting tasks.
The handle, which is usually simple and straight, makes it easy to conceal inside clothing, or under fingerless gloves that allow the user to produce a blade quickly. Many kunai have a sharp edge on both sides of the blade for maximum utility. While usually used for slashing or stabbing an opponent, a kunai can be used as a weapon in its own right.
The curved tip on the end of the handle can easily penetrate flesh or bone (or multiple enemies), while at the same time protecting fingers and hands from getting cut by shards of broken blades. The curved blade also allows for swift decapitation if held vertically against an enemy's neck.
Types of Kunai Knife:
The Japanese kunai is a knife or dagger-shaped farming tool that was originally designed for harvesting rice paddies. But in recent years, the dual-purpose tool has become much more popular as an outdoor knife. It's sharp and sturdy enough to handle heavy-duty tasks while still maintaining its tactility and maneuverability, making it excellent for fishing enthusiasts, campers, hikers, farmers, and anyone else who spends their time outside. Here are some types:
1. The Pruning Knife
In general, these knives are used to cut through the thin stems and branches of ornamental plants. The blade is usually made of high-quality stainless steel and has a fine tip that makes it easier to sharpen than the common sharpener. A kunai with this configuration is ideal for pruning trees and shrubs, leaving the edges smooth.
2. The Utility Knife
These knives are used by people who spend a lot of time outdoors and need something that can handle all kinds of tasks. The blade is usually made of 1095 carbon steel or softer stainless steel, both of which are incredibly durable. The kunai knife is very sharp, making it more suited for cutting through larger objects like logs and branches.
3. The Survival Knife
These knives are usually referred to as Machetes and are strong enough to cut through most of anything that comes it's way. They are slightly curved and made of the same kind of steel as the utility knife, but they have a much sharper edge because they are used for heavy-duty tasks. The blade is relatively broad and makes it much easier to work with than other knives because it allows you to easily slice through thick branches without putting your hand in danger from the blunt end.
4. The Whittling Knife
Many people like to go fishing, but traditional fishing rods have a problem: they're not very portable. The whittling knife is used to cut through wood, turning it into more manageable pieces that are easier to work with. Although it was developed initially for whittling wood, the knife can also be used for heavier-duty tasks like carving and sculpting. It is also equipped with a locking system that prevents your fingers from getting cut when you take it out of your pocket.
5. The Hunting Knife
These knives are designed to be used in the wild, cutting through large meat and carcasses. They are extremely sharp and have a very thick blade that makes it much easier to cut through tough plants or large branches. They are also equipped with very durable handles that make them heavier than most other knives but still easy to hold when you're working with heavy materials.
Uses and Benefits!
Kunai knife is an essential survival tool that was used by ninjas in the past. The word Kunai is derived from Japanese kanji and it literally means “needle” or “prong” – which are phenomenally accurate descriptions of this iconic blade. The main use of these knives is for hunting, specifically hunting animals at night or in places where visibility might be low, such as a dark forest at night.
These knives were not meant for self-defense, but rather for hunting animals in the dark. They are one of the main tools used for a ninja’s more “sinister” raids. These knives feature several distinctive traits that make them different from other knives. For example, this knife is famous for its curved handle, which allows it to be attached to a pole in order to increase its effective range when used as a weapon or tool. As a throwing weapon, the kunai was typically thrown underhand or with an overhand motion.

The Ultimate Guide to Knife Metal: A Comprehensive Knife Metal Chart
Knives are vital tools that people have utilized for generations. A knife is a flexible tool that may improve or ruin an event, from culinary arts to outdoor experiences. The metal used in the manufacture of a knife is an important aspect in determining its performance and longevity. We give a thorough knife metal chart in this blog to assist you understand the numerous types of knife metals available on the market today.
Stainless Steel
Because of its great corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance, stainless steel is the most commonly used knife metal. It has a high chromium content, which provides a protective coating on the surface, preventing corrosion and discolouration. Among the most common stainless steel alloys are:
420 Stainless Steel: An entry-level stainless steel with strong corrosion resistance but lesser hardness and edge retention than higher-grade steel.
440 Stainless Steel: This steel has higher hardness and edge retention than 420 steel, although it may be less corrosion-resistant.
High Carbon Steel: High carbon steel is popular among professional chefs and knife lovers because of its excellent toughness and edge retention. However, frequent maintenance is required to avoid rusting. High-carbon steel choices that are commonly used include:
1095 Carbon Steel: A common choice for high carbon steel blades due to their toughness and longevity.
AUS-8: A Japanese stainless steel with greater carbon content than standard stainless steel, balancing corrosion resistance and edge retention.
Steel for tooling:
Tool steels are specially developed to be durable and resistant to severe impact and extensive use. They are frequently seen in knives designed for hunting, survival, or tactical uses. Two notable tool steel variations are:
D2 steel is known for its excellent edge holding and wears resistance, making it perfect for hard-use knives.
CPM S30V: A high-quality powder metallurgy stainless steel with outstanding edge retention and corrosion resistance.
Damascus steel is famous for its stunning patterns. Damascus steel knives frequently have greater strength, sharpness, and beauty.
Ceramic blades are becoming increasingly popular because of their exceptional hardness and resistance to stains and corrosion. They are lightweight and hold their edge for an extended period. They are, however, fragile and prone to chipping or shattering when stressed.
Conclusion:
Selecting the proper knife metal is critical to ensuring maximum performance and lifespan. While this quality knife metal chart can help you understand the many types of knife metals available, it's crucial to consider things like your individual demands, budget, and maintenance needs before making a purchase.
