Sandalwood Brown Sword Dao

Using folded steel, which is a mixture of 1045 soft steel, 1060 high carbon steel, manganese spring steel and many more smaller portions of other steels. This mixture is then folded multiple times to remove impurities, creating many hundreds of individual steel layers, finally producing arguably the best sword-making steel available, a world-renowned technique for smithing blades. 

With this folded steel, the blade is then hand-forged laminated into separate sections, creating an advanced laminate structure, consisting of a hard cutting edge, soft core & spine and two medium hardness sides which are hand-forged laminated to this combination inner core. 

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.

The end result is a blade with a hard, reliable and unmatched razor sharp cutting edge with excellent blade elasticity and resilience, along with a medium hardness protective jacket on each side of the blade. All of which are very important aspects of any true Chinese war sword destined to survive battle. 

A beautiful, simple and sleek Chinese warrior sword with a classic oriental aesthetic.
