Spartan Sword- High Carbon 1095 Steel - 30.5"

Spartan Sword, 1095 Steel, 30.5 inches

A Spartan sword in 1095 high carbon steel, 30.5 inches overall. The Spartan pattern is the forward-curving, single-edged Greek blade, the kopis family: the weight sits toward the tip so it chops like an axe and the grip curves inward to shelter the hand. Hoplites carried it as the sidearm for when the spear was gone, and the Spartans were known for using a shorter blade than the other Greek cities. This is the long version of that pattern, with a leather sheath.

The blade

1095 is a plain high carbon steel with about 0.95 percent carbon, roughly double the carbon of the 1045 steel used in most production blades. It takes a very hard edge, typically 56 to 58 HRC, and holds it. To keep a long blade from being brittle at that hardness it is clay tempered: the smith coats the spine in clay, leaves the edge bare, and quenches, so the edge hardens fully while the spine stays softer and springier.
