I have many katanas. I have Cheness Tenchi and I have Ronin Elite. The first is made from 9260 Spring Steel, the second is traditional made with 1095/1060/1045 in a seven panel (soshu kitae) composition and differently hardened. Except for Tamahagane, it closely represents how true traditional Japanese sword is made. Result - Ronin Elite is far more sharper, but is prone to damage, despite its structure. Monosteel 9260 is more like an axe - it doesn't cut perfect, but it can withstand big impact

@Madmann135 I don't think so. I never had 5160, but I have 9260. I must tell you that this 9260 Cheness Tenchi I have cuts like hell. I mean, it can not hold the sharpest edge, it can not cut paper in the air, but it can cut solid branches of trees in a single swing. And, MOST IMPORTANTLY, I do it without any damage to the blade. ANY. I am not a professional, I often botch a cut or two, but the 9260 is very forgiving to those and the blade manage to survive a bad cut without any damage.

5160 spring steel has a better cutting reputation (cutting buffalo head in a single strike). Chemically Carbon 0.56 - 0.64 Chromium 0.7 - 0.9 Manganese 0.75 - 1 Phosphorus 0.035 max Silicon 0.15 - 0.35 Sulphur 0.04 max I could not find 9160 steel but I think you mean 9260 steel, 9260 is known to have better durability properties (bending 90 degrees and returning to center). Carbon 0.56-0.64 Manganese 0.75-1.00 Phosphorus 0.035 (max) Sulfur 0.04 (max) Silicon 1.80-2.20

ok let me see if i got this, 1060 5160 an 9160 has the same carbon count right?
so whats the difference between 5160 and 9160
-
what i have never understood is the wrapping of the handle. Sure it gives a nice grip but it would get dirt.. fast.. especially in combat.
-
Its nice, but if i buy a katana, i like for it to have a fuller (blood groove as some call it.)
Not only does it look nicer, but you can guarantee that it will be easier to swing and have a better center of gravity.
-
dont buy katanas with Hi ;o
imo those 50 (or less, i dunno) less grams are not worth the loss in durability.
even if it's a minor one.
-
not all combat knives have a fuller. For example the great V-42 knife doesn't. Nor does my Russian AK bayonet, nor the Swedish bayonet.

looks cheap and nasty

To lighten the blade without causing to much structural problems. There is not a strong enough vacuum when stabbing to make a difference when pulling it out. IT IS A MYTH!

That is actually a myth.
