Chang Dao Sword

1095 is one of the highest carbon content modern steels used for sword-smithing and arguably the best combat sword-making steel available, assuredly forming a very lethal foundational core to this Chinese longsword. 

Blade characteristics include a hard & tough, reliable & durable cutting edge, along with desirable blade resilience and good elasticity, which 1095, being technically a higher carbon content spring steel, is renowned for. 

Completed with a hard rosewood handle and scabbard, along with quality brass-alloy fittings, this sleek and slender great sword is finished in full tradition and style of the period. 

Practical, deadly and a serious open-field Chinese war sword.
