SH2385 -- The Shaolin Wootz Sword
The clean lines of the Wootz sword, patterned after a Han Dynasty cavalry weapon, exude strength and power. Forged as a single piece, the sword's most exciting feature is its Wootz steel construction. The centuries-old Asian technique of making superb Wootz steel (or Watered Steel) sword blades has been lost to the world for several hundred years, but the dedicated study and research have recreated the process and this sword is a testament to that dedication. The cord wrapped handle and iron-bound Paduak scabbard accentuate the powerful nature of this rugged piece.
