An ancient blade from Han dynasty
I got a piece of Chinese sword what is around 2000 years old. It was found in an ancient battlefield in China. And after some travels, it is finally given to me from a customer in the US.
It has a steel with large wood grain layer pattern. Hamon is not very clear.
Whole length 36.0cm, weight 300g
Sample of Chinese sword in Han dynasty
I'm planning to make a tanto blade from it, since it has enough meat to keep the steel as it is.
