Key Specifications

  • 6 pieces of Carbon Steel (#43 and #40).
  • 5 pieces of High Carbon Steel 1095.

Detailed Blade Craftsmanship

The blade's heart and soul lie in its pattern-welded Damascus steel construction. Through a meticulous process of heat treatment and folding, the blade acquires a layered carbon structure, unfolding as follows:

• 1st Fold: 22 layers
• 2nd Fold: 44 layers
• 3rd Fold: 88 layers
• 4th Fold: 176 layers
• 5th Fold: 352 layers

This intricate folding process, combining high carbon steel (notably the 1095 variant, celebrated for its superior carbon content) with carbon steel, endows the sword with an exceptional edge retention and resilience. A Rockwell hardness of 56-58 HRC underscores its durability and longevity, promising a legacy piece that withstands the test of time.

Our longsword is not just a weapon; it is a piece of history, masterfully recreated for enthusiasts, collectors, and those who cherish the rich tapestry of medieval European craftsmanship and warfare.
