Our swords are made from 5160 High Carbon Spring Steel. We do our own heat treating and tempering. Swords are tempered to 52 degrees on the C scale. They are first forged to shape and then ground to final size and shape. For the handles, we use natural hardwoods from all over the world, never using any stains or dyes.
By default, our swords are not sharpened. However, we offer free sharpening to customers - select the "Sharpened" option when adding to cart. Expect your order to take a couple extra days if you select the sharpened option.
