Chinese Long Straight Sword

The full tang blade is a T10 high carbon steel forge. Arguably the best steel available for sword-making, the cutting edge is ultra hard, reliable and extremely sharp for battle purposes, along with good blade resilience one would expect from a premium quality Chinese war sword.

Furthermore, the blade is genuine clay tempered. This ensures a clean, visibly defined tempered cutting edge with the core and spine of the blade left softer and more resilient. A technically advanced and difficult process to achieve. 

High in ceremonial and ornamental sword value, this beautiful, simple and sleek Chinese warrior sword is a work of art with a very classic oriental aesthetic.
