Description
Through the tides of history, empires have risen and fallen, each leaving behind innovations that sometimes endure beyond their time. The Empire Demolition Forged Short Sword is one such legacy,a single-handed weapon featuring a 16-inch blade forged from Damascus steel. This blade is crafted by repeatedly folding layers of 15N20 and 1095 high carbon steel, resulting in a distinctive pattern of swirling light and dark bands that not only catch the eye but also enhance the blade’s strength and resilience.
The hilt is fashioned from rich sheesham wood, known for its durability and fine grain, shaped and smoothed to fit comfortably in the hand for steady control. Brass fittings at the guard and pommel provide balance and a touch of traditional craftsmanship. A fuller runs along both sides of the blade, reducing weight without sacrificing durability, making the sword agile in close combat. To protect this blade and ease transport, the sword comes with a genuine leather sheath designed for secure carry and storage.
