Tang Dao Pink Sword

Wootz steel is one of the highest carbon content modern steels used for sword-smithing, typically containing around 1.7% carbon and is classified as an ultra-high carbon steel. Arguably the best combat sword-making steel available, Wootz steel assuredly forms a very lethal foundational core to this Chinese Dao sword. Blade attributes include an extremely tough & hard, durable, razor sharp cutting edge, along with excellent blade elasticity and renowned resilience. 

Further promoting perfection, is the very difficult process of clay-tempering the blade. This process precisely facilitates hardening of the blade’s edge, while leaving the blade’s core and spine softer and thus resilient. Definitely a marker of advanced sword-making technology and visibly identifiable on this sword’s blade.

Completed with a hardwood wrapped with real stingray-skin scabbard, along with brass sword fittings – with many decorations plated in genuine silver & gold, and a hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective hand-grip.

This tang Dao sword is sharp and deadly, and is executed with fine craftsmanship. It’s highly collectable, a treasure to own and a formidable Chinese war sword to use.
