The most valuable part of any sword however is its blade, with this 1060 steel sword blade certainly forming a high quality, and lethal foundational core to this true sword saber.
1060, a modern, highly-refined, medium-carbon steel, encapsulating both a relatively high carbon and manganese content, along with other trace elements.
