High Manganese steel, a modern, highly-refined, spring steel, encapsulating both a relatively high carbon and manganese content, along with many other elements. It’s well known for its almost perfect balance of good blade strength, hardness, toughness, edge-holding capacity, as well as renowned elasticity and excellent resilience, with very similar characteristics to a 1060 carbon steel sword blade. High Manganese steel is without a doubt, one of the most versatile steels available, and arguably the best sword-making steel for a true combat sword.
Completed with a beautiful rosewood handle & scabbard, along with quality sword-fittings, this sleek and slender Chinese sword is finished with quality, and in the style of the period.
