Carbon steel is a type of steel that is composed of iron and carbon, with a carbon content typically between 0.3% and 1.5%. Carbon steel Japanese swords are known for their sharpness, durability and resilience. The high carbon content in the steel allows the sword to be hardened and tempered to a high degree, which results in a blade that is able to hold a sharp edge for a long time and can withstand heavy use.

Japanese swords made of carbon steel typically go through a process of folding and forge welding. This process involves repeatedly heating, folding and hammering the steel to remove impurities and homogenize the carbon content. This process also creates a unique and attractive pattern on the blade known as the hamon. The blade is then tempered and polished to create a razor sharp edge and a beautiful finish.
