Kandao Chinese Broadsword

Equipped with a high manganese steel blade, which is a modern, highly refined iron base-steel alloyed with on average 11% manganese, 0.6% carbon, and significant amounts of chromium, silicon and vanadium. 

It’s a high carbon steel, well known for its almost perfect balance of good blade strength, hardness, toughness, edge-holding capacity, as well as renowned blade elasticity and excellent resilience, with very similar characteristics to a 1060 carbon steel sword blade. High Manganese steel is without a doubt, one of the most versatile steels available, and arguably the best blade-making steel for a true combat sword. 

Completed with beautiful & premium-grade brass fittings, and a hardwood, wrapped with quality-cord handle, providing a classic and very strong hand-grip.

A deadly Chinese Dadao sword capable of thrusting, and extremely powerful cutting and slashing attacks.
