Description
This High Carbon Spring Steel Sword is a fine example of traditional smithing, featuring a 29.75-inch double-edged blade forged from high carbon spring steel tempered to 54-55 HRC. This temper gives the blade a firm yet resilient edge, capable of holding sharpness while withstanding impact. The satin finish paired with a black oxide-treated fuller not only adds visual contrast but helps reduce glare and prevent corrosion. Measuring 5.6mm thick, the blade strikes a balance between durability and agility, suitable for cutting and thrusting alike.
The handle, 7.5 inches long with a 5-inch grip, is crafted from sturdy hardwood wrapped in black leather for a secure, comfortable hold that absorbs shock during use. The sword’s full tang construction means the blade’s steel extends through the handle, lending excellent balance and strength to the weapon. The guard spans 6.5 inches and is fashioned from darkened steel, providing effective hand protection while maintaining a simple, functional design. The pommel, measuring 2.5 by 1.75 inches and made of antiqued steel, serves as a counterweight to the blade and can be used as a blunt instrument in close combat. This sword is accompanied by a black leather sheath, designed for safe transport and display.
