1.The balde was made of 1095 high carbon steel,it was Fully hand forged using the most ancient method of sword making.It has been smelted and pounded(hand forged) to decrease the remain impurities of the carbon steel and better distribute the carbon to form the blank.
2.The blade would be fully hand shaping,and then heat treating after grinding(rough finishing),then quickly oil and water quenching (tempering) to greatly improve the hardness and flexiblity of the balde.This way allow the layers to cool at different rates during the tempering process,The faster steel cools,the harder it becomes; this is a product of the carbon that is mixed with the steel.The slower steel cools,the softer it remains.This creats a nature mix of hardness and flexibility.
