T10 is one of the highest carbon content modern steels used for sword-smithing and arguably the best combat sword-making steel available, certainly forming a very lethal foundational core to this Chinese Dao sword. Blade characteristics include a hard, tough, reliable & wear-resistant cutting edge, along with desirable blade resilience and good elasticity.
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 hardwood scabbard, along with solid brass sword-fittings, and a matching hardwood handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective hand-grip.
This Chinese warrior sword is sharp and deadly, and is executed with fine craftsmanship. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable Chinese war sword to use.
