Curved Short Sword

Equipped with a 1095 steel sword blade, which is a modern, highly refined, iron base-steel alloyed with a high on average 1.0% carbon content, significant manganese, and trace amounts of phosphorus and sulphur. 

1095 is one of the highest carbon content modern steels used for sword-smithing and arguably the best combat sword-making steel available, assuredly forming a very lethal foundational core to this Chinese shortsword. 

Blade characteristics include a hard & tough, reliable & durable cutting edge, along with desirable blade resilience and good elasticity, which 1095, being technically a higher carbon content spring steel, is renowned for. 

Completed with a premium-grade, rose hardwood handle and scabbard, along with quality metal-alloy fittings, illustrated with powerful Chinese dragon & tiger symbology, this shortsword is not only collectable and ornate, it’s also a formidable weapon to use.
