T10 is one of the highest carbon-content steels used for blade-smithing, and is arguably the best sword-making steel available for a combat sword, assuredly forming a lethal foundational core to this Chinese war sword.
Further promoting perfection, is the very difficult process of clay-tempering the blade. This process precisely facilitates hardening of the blade’s edge, while leaving the blade’s core and spine softer and thus resilient. Definitely a marker of advanced sword-making technology and visibly identifiable on this sword’s blade.
Completed with a durable acid-tree hardwood scabbard, solid brass sword fittings – all of which are plated in real gold, and a matching acid-tree hardwood handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective hand-grip.
This Liuyedao sword is sharp and deadly, and is executed with fine craftsmanship. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable war sword to use.
