Chinese Two Handed Sword

The most valuable part of any sword is its blade, with this folded steel blade, certainly forming a deadly & very practical core standard, to this fully battle ready, Chinese war sword.

Forged with folded steel, which is a mixture of 1095 & 1060 high carbon steel, manganese spring steel, 1045 soft 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.

Completed with a Suanzhi hardwood handle & scabbard, along with optional brass or pure-copper fittings, this sleek and slender Chinese sword is finished with fine quality, and in full classic style of the period.
