Swordsmiths are notoriously known to be difficult with the types of steel they work with, so the block of steel has to pass a thorough inspection before making it to their own workspace. Therefore, the few smiths who are using the traditional techniques in Japan and are willing to sell their swords do so for a really high price – usually upward of 5000$. Needless to say, these swords are inaccessible to most people. Only select steel blocks make it through, while smaller, impure steel is sent to make forks and small knives.
Spring steel is called the survivalist’s favorite because its blade can be bended and turned in many ways, but it will always regain its straight aspect. It’s a steel that can be used under heavy conditions and still remain intact. It’s the strongest type of steel we have at Swords for Sale. Kobuse steel is our highest standard of steel at Swords for Sale, and also one of the most beautiful kinds of steel available on the market. Kobuse steel is done by merging an inner core of 1095 High-Carbon steel with an outer core of 1095 Folded Steel. The steel is also clay-tempered in its heat treatment, and finally, polished with Hazuya stones for an impeccable finish.
The type of steel normally used for modern swords is usually High-Carbon steel. High-Carbon steel, on the other hand, is perfect for functional, battle-ready swords. This type of steel can also be Folded (giving us the look known as “Damascus steel” – with its beautiful wavy patterns. It can also be Clay-Tempered – creating a beautiful natural Hamon on it and strengthening the blade even further. Finally, it can also be Microplated with a special color and then Polished and Sharpened with many different techniques.
Stainless Steel: is it a great idea for swords? Stainless steel, often known as inox steel or inox from the French inoxydable (inoxidable), is an alloy of steel with a minimum mass percentage of 10.5% chromium. This chromium content makes it so that the blade oxidises much more slowly – meaning it will not rust. Stainless steel swords require low maintenance and also are more easily sharpened. It’s very widely used to create knives and small cutlery. If the process of oxidation is left unchecked, iron will change into a different iron oxide, or more frequently, rust. If it is exposed to moisture, even a tiny quantity of moisture in the air, the blade will start to rust. By producing a thin film on the iron that essentially blocks moisture, chromium prevents rust.
In ancient Japan, katanas were very rare and valuable. They were made with special techniques and metals – more specifically one – Tamahagane steel (also called Jewel Steel). This is a special type of steel issued from iron sand smelted in the traditional Japanese low furnace. Tamahagane steel swordsmithing is not completely extinct nowadays, but nearly. This is simply because the traditional methods of smelting, forging, and refining a blade is extremely expensive. Moreover, the special ore (Tamagahane) required for the traditional process is very rare – and thus expensive. Moreover, swords are actually illegal in Japan, so it’s very hard to get any of these so-prized pieces of art out of the country. Find extra information at https://swordsfor.sale/.
