Authentic samurai swords are made from Japanese steel known as Tamahagane. Two different steels, a softer one inside and a harder one wrapped around it, are combined to make the blade. Thus the blade has a hard, razor sharp edge for cutting and the core is able to absorb shocks, reducing the chance of getting the blade broken or bent. File markings are done on the sword-blade, which are used to assess the aging of the steel. There are many companies that make replica of authentic samurai swords.
