The sword's appearance and martial aura were so unique and impressive that it was reason enough for Cold Steel® to want to bring the client a reproduction of this weapon.\u003cbr\u003e Crafted by talented blacksmiths, the Battle Gim is made from Cold Steels®, the finest Damascus steel. It features a broad, symmetrical point and a blade that is slightly wider and heavier than usual. Due to its resulting heavy nature, the razor-sharp, double-edged blade is better suited for cutting and cleaving than thrusting.  \u003cbr\u003eThe blackened iron pommel and guard frame the beautiful wooden handle and are decorated with a filigree pattern of traditional Chinese peony flowers and leaves. The same motif is repeated on the matching wooden scabbard, mouthpiece, and support rings.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDamascus steel\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe term \u003ci\u003eDamascus steel\u003c\/i\u003e , \u003ci\u003eDamascus steel\u003c\/i\u003e , or simply \u003ci\u003eDamascus\u003c\/i\u003e refers to a composite steel made from two or more different types of steel. The name derives from the Syrian city of Damascus, which is considered an ancient stronghold and the origin of Damascus steel production. Typically, a hard, high-carbon steel and a soft, low-carbon steel are joined by repeated welding and forging. The high-carbon steel provides greater hardness, better hardenability, and longer edge retention, while the softer steel gives the blade greater elasticity and increased resistance to breaking. With this technology, which developed in a time of poor and changing steel qualities, the positive properties of different steels can be combined. Due to the different colors with different carbon contents, stunning patterns of alternating layers are created. Because of these patterns, Damascus swords of the Middle Ages were said to have an inherent magic.    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Material: Damascus steel\u003cbr\u003e - Total length: approx. 94cm\u003cbr\u003e - Blade length: approx. 76.2 cm\u003cbr\u003e - Blade thickness: approx. 6 mm\u003cbr\u003e - Handle: approx. 17.8 cm long, wood with blackened iron guard and pommel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Weight: approx. 1106 g\u003cbr\u003e - Includes wooden scabbard with blackened iron fittings\u003cbr\u003e - Cold steel® item number: 88fg\u003cbr\u003e At \u003cstrong\u003eTienda Medieval,\u003c\/strong\u003e we have thousands of medieval and other period products.
