Chinese Dragon Sword

Forged with 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 technique renowned for smithing the finest combat sword blades. 

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. 

Sword and scabbard fittings are decorated with hand-carved pure copper artworks, with a number of these works gilded in genuine gold or silver gilt – very lavish artistry and materials. 

Fit for high-end collection, a pleasure to own, and a versatile, deadly weapon use.
