This exclusive sword series is not to be mistaken for those cheap imitations. Wrap your palm around the cord wrapped, hardwood grip and feel the unimaginable power a hand forged, custom built sword has to offer. The blades are each high quality carbon steel construction, hand forged under extreme heat and folded to perfection. The tsubas each offer unique Oriental designs coordinating with the pommel. Each blade slides smoothly into a hardwood scabbard with nylon cord wrap. Each sword is presented in a custom velvet bag with custom tag and sword care instructions.
Carbon Steel
Carbon steel, also called plain carbon steel, is a metal alloy,
a combination of two elements, iron and carbon, where other elements are present in quantities too small
to affect the properties. The only other alloying elements allowed in plain-carbon steel are
manganese (1.65% max), silicon (0.60% max), and copper (0.60% max). Steel with a low carbon content has
the same properties as iron, soft but easily formed. As carbon content rises the metal becomes harder and
stronger but less ductile and more difficult to weld. Higher carbon content lowers steel's melting point and
its temperature resistance in general.
* Mild (low carbon) steel: approximately 0.05–0.29% carbon content[1] (e.g. AISI 1018 steel). Mild steel has a relatively low tensile strength, but it is cheap and malleable; surface hardness can be increased through carburizing.[2]
* Medium carbon steel: approximately 0.30–0.59% carbon content[1](e.g. AISI 1040 steel). Balances ductility and strength and has good wear resistance; used for large parts, forging and automotive components.[3]
* High carbon steel: approximately 0.6–0.99% carbon content [1]. Very strong, used for springs and high-strength wires.[4]
* Ultra-high carbon steel: approximately 1.0–2.0% carbon content [1]. Steels that can be tempered to great hardness. Used for special purposes like (non-industrial-purpose) knives, axles or punches. Most steels with more than 1.2% carbon content are made using powder metallurgy and usually fall in the category of high alloy carbon steels. |
