9260 High Carbon Steel

weapons collection

Quality 9260 high carbon steel is well-regarded for its spring-like flexibility and shock-resistance.

The elevated level of silicon (2%) in 9260 high carbon steel gives it impressive flexibility when well-tempered, giving the blade an admirable amount of resilience and shock resistance. Like 5160, 9260 could be described as a silicon alloy spring steel rather than high carbon. But that in no way diminishes its sword-worthiness. Blades of 9260 have the capability of flexing substantially and returning true when proper blade geometry and tempering is utilized.
