1090 / 1095 High Carbon Steel

weapons collection

A steel focused on its ability to hold a keen and sharp edge, though it is slightly more prone to taking edge damage when struck against hard and dense objects.

When tempered this hard steel is capable of holding a very sharp and keen edge. At the high end of edge retention this type of steel is tough, yet slightly more brittle than lower carbon content steels and can be more unforgiving of mistakes when dealing with the stresses imparted on longer sword length blades when in use – though this much less of an issue for shorter swords and knives. 

 

This is steel that works well with experienced cutting practitioners who have the technique to avoid poorly executed cuts and who desire a hard and sharp edge which will hold up to regular and sustained use.
