Yanchidao Dao Broadsword

Equipped with a folded steel blade, which is a hammer-welded 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.

The process and technique is renowned for smithing the finest combat sword blades, and certainly forms a very lethal foundational core to this Chinese broadsword. 

Completed with a practical genuine leather scabbard, battle-functional steel sword-fittings, and a hardwood, wrapped with quality-cord handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective hand-grip.

Fit for high-end collection, a treasure to own, and a formidable Chinese war sword to use.
