Description: This short sword is an elegant weapon, perfectly balanced. The blade is mirror polished D-2 carbon steel -- the high chromium content gives the blade additional resistance to corrosion, while the high carbon content allows it to maintain an excellent edge. Fullers on the flat of the blade present a graceful simplicity of the sword. The detail in the ricasso includes a mosaic pin surrounded by detailing in a star shape. Stainless steel spacers at the guard and butt set off the pre-ban elephant ivory handle. The wood and stainless steel sheath is a nice touch and shows off this sword well. Excellent fit and finish throughout.
