This steel is superior in performance to most other steels due to its chemistry and also because of the close controls that we maintain at every stage of the manufacturing process. These controls begin at the steel mill where Cold Steel specifes the desired microstructure of the steel. Once smelted, each steel shipment is microscopically checked for structural qual-ity, cleanliness and chemical content by an independent metallurgist not in the mill's employ. The blades are then blanked parallel to the rolling direction of the steel plate to optimize grain fow along the length of the blade. The fnal step is a precise heat treatment sequence that was developed by Cold Steel specifcally for this custom steel. This heat treatment process is one of our most highly guarded trade secrets. It was arrived at over several years by using an ex-haustive series of practical and metallurgical tests and observations.AUS STAINLESS STEELSThe words stainless steel are misleading, because, in fact, all steel will stain or show dis-coloration if left in adverse conditions for a suffcient time.Steel is made stainless by adding Chromium and reducing its Carbon content during the smelting process.There is a serious performance trade-off with stainless steel. As the Chromium increases and the Carbon decreases, the steel becomes more stainless.But, it also becomes more and more diffcult to sharpen, and the edge-holding potential is seriously impaired.This is usually why most stainless knives are rarely razor-sharp and quickly lose what little edge they have. In contrast, at Cold Steel we use AUS 8A Stainless, a high carbon, low chromium steel that has proven itself to be the ultimate compromise between toughness and strength, edge holding, and resistance to corrosion.AUS 6A is a medium to high carbon stainless which is tougher than ATS-34, 440C, ATS-55, etc., but still holds a good edge.This means it is particularly well suited for heavier, longer blades that are subjected to a lot of stress while chopping and hacking.SAN MAI III San Mai means three layers. Its the term given to the traditional laminated blades used by the Japanese for swords and daggers. Laminated construction is important because it allows different grades of steel to be combined in a single blade.A simple way to think of this type of construction is to imagine a sandwich: The meat center is hard, high carbon steel and the pieces of bread on either side are the lower-carbon, tough side panels. The edge of the blade should be hard to maximize edge holding ability, but if the entire blade was hard it could be damaged during the rigors of battle. For ultimate toughness the body of the blade must be able to withstand impact and lateral stresses. Toughness is generally associated with softness and fexibility in steel, so that, surprisingly, if a blade is made tough the edge wont be hard enough to offer superior edge holding. San Mai III provides a blade with hard (higher carbon) steel in the middle for a keen, long lasting edge and tougher (lower-carbon) steel along the sides for fexibility.This laminate is 25% stronger than our incredibly tough AUS 8A Stain-less.420 SUB ZERO QUENCHCold Steel has always sub zero quenched the blades that we have manufactured in Japan, and we are now adding this often omitted, yet crucial, process to the heat treating sequence of the new blades we are making in Taiwan.Typically, stainless steel blades suffer from retained austenite after they have been heated to critical temperature and then air or gas cooled.The big drawback of this procedure is that it doesntgetthebladescoldenoughtoassurecompletetransformationfromanausteniteto martensite grain structure.Only by freezingsub zero quenchingstainless blades to 120 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit), will the austenite be completely transformed to martensite. This assures the blade will be as hard, strong, and wear resistant as it can possibly be.51505150 is a medium carbon, low alloy steel that is particularly well suited to the hot forging process.This steel has the properties to harden well, making it ideal for heat treating blades that have a very thick cross section such as tomahawks, axes, etc.After the quenching process, blades will be completely hardened at Rc 55-60.The combination of carbon and alloy elements also produces an extremely tough and impact resistant steel in the hardened and tempered condition which is essential in a tool which is hafted and or thrown.OUR 1996 DOCUMENTARY VIDEO, PROOF, SENT RIPPLES OF CONTROVERSY THROUGH THE KNIFE WORLD.BUT THIS DVD WILL SHAKE THE VERY FOUNDATIONS OF THE KNIFE INDUSTRY.

But dont let its size fool you, as there is nothing awkward or clumsy about this awesome sword. Sure its big and meant to be carried over the shoulder instead of in a scabbard, but its extremely well balanced and easily wielded by people of larger stature and physical strength. Weighing 6 lbs. 13.5 oz. with a 397/8" high carbon steel blade, it will make short work of pikemen or swordsmen and will prove equally effective against modern rife butts and bayonets. To protect the hands from opposing weapons, it features a large guard with side rings plus integral parrying hooks that allow the blade to be shortened for close range slashing and stabbing attacks. The handle is made of wood and covered with leather and is extra long to afford a full two handed grip. Whats more, its capped by a heavy steel pommel that helps counter balance its long blade and serves as an effective weapon in its own right. Each sword comes fully sharpened and battle ready and were sure you will be thrilled with its fantastic ft and fnish.
