The most common high carbon swords are 1045 steel which only have .45% carbon content in the steel. 1095 steel is known for its ability to maintain an edge and is an incredibly hard steel. 1095 steel typically has a hardness of 56-58 HRC. The problem with 1095 steel is that it is lacks flexibility. Flexibility is critical to sword making so the sword doesn't break on high impact collisions. To increase the flexibility of this steel, clay tempering is used to soften the steel. The clay is thickly painted on the blade to insulates the parts of the blade that we want softened so they cool more slowly during the quenching process. In this case, the clay is painted everywhere except the edge. This clay tempering process keeps the strong and sharp edge of the blade while allowing the rest of the blade to be more flexible. This process optimizes the strength of the blade and maximizes its sharpness creating an incredible strong blade and sharp edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAx Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wood \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRockwell Hardness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 56-58 HRC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSheath\u003c\/strong\u003e: Leather sheath\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1095 Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eViking Ax - 20\" - Handmade High Carbon 1095 Steel Blade- Valknut\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Battling Blades","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39459657810092,"sku":"3000003609","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2234\/4067\/products\/DSC05944_fa40649e-60f2-4b11-a056-6f04e83fd313.jpg?v=1617663307"},{"product_id":"spear-ji-axe-polearms-halberd-84","title":"Spear - Ji Axe- Polearms- Halberd- 81\"","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElegant Crescent Moon Ji: The Ultimate Fusion of Spear and Axe\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDiscover the Power of Traditional Warfare Craftsmanship\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverview:\u003c\/strong\u003e Step into the realm of historical warfare with our exquisitely crafted Crescent Moon Ji.

With a carbon footprint of .95%, 1095 steel outpaces other high-carbon variants like the 1045 steel. It's lauded for its sharpness retention and its almost unparalleled hardness, typically hovering around a Rockwell Hardness of 56-58 HRC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, like many great things, 1095 steel isn't without its quirks. Its sheer strength comes at the cost of flexibility. In the fierce arena of battle, or even modern-day activities, an axe or sword's flexibility can mean the difference between triumph and a shattered blade. Enter the age-old technique of clay tempering. By applying a generous layer of clay over specific areas of the blade (leaving the edge exposed), the steel undergoes differential hardening during the quenching process. The outcome? A razor-sharp edge that retains its toughness, and a blade body that wields the flexibility of legends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications of the Axe\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Crafted from the finest wood, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Span\u003c\/strong\u003e: A commanding presence at 21\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAxe Head Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\", shaped meticulously for both aesthetics and efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness Quotient\u003c\/strong\u003e: A sturdy Rockwell Hardness of 56-58 HRC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtective Sheath\u003c\/strong\u003e: Comes with a genuine leather sheath, safeguarding the blade and adding a touch of sophistication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Constituent\u003c\/strong\u003e: Premium 1095 Steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStep into the legacy of the Vikings with this Bearded Axe – 21\" of pure, handcrafted excellence, showcasing the iconic high carbon 1095 steel blade.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Battling Blades","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42720093438124,"sku":"3000002021","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2234\/4067\/files\/DSC0989.jpg?v=1693585501"},{"product_id":"axe-bundle-seven-axes","title":"Axe Bundle- Seven Axes","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1.
