The most valuable part of any sword is its blade, with this Damascus steel sword blade certainly forming a high quality foundational core of this beautiful & unique Chinese sword.
Forged with 608 pattern – Damascus 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 world renowned technique for smithing sword blades.
Outfitted with premium-grade fittings, handle and scabbard materials, the sword is not only deadly and practical for real combat, but also poised for a unique, yet traditionally aesthetic collection piece.
