@Disinf3ctant ...wow really... your extremely picky with steel, 1095 is also harder, which means it's sharper, besides, how durable does a sword need to be? This is 21st century, people wear jean's and maybe thick leather jackets at most, 1095 is better then 440 b stainless steel, that's for sure!

a real katana is made from 2% carbon steel. 1095 steel is .95% carbon. 1095 is regardedly hard, polishes quite well, but still big difference compared to tamahagane in the luster and edge retention. and I'm sure you've figured out that is just a plastic wrap on the handle lol ^_^v

How can you tell if a katana is carbon steel?

You get your swordsmith to certify the material for you. You can also just swing it against something and if it snaps then it's steel lol. Otherwise there's not really anyway you can tell what grade or even if it is carbon steel. Theres few indicators like how brittle it is and how sharp you can get it. But not very easy to test.
