CAS Hanwei blacksmiths have outperformed themselves with their recreation of a 9th-century Saxon sword by replicating a technique used by the Saxons and Vikings and producing an impressive blade featuring a patterned welded core with high carbon edge sections. This technique was used by blacksmiths of yesteryear as a means to produce leaves (only for the rich) that were sharp, resistant and decorative and, a thousand hundred years later, CAS Hanwei has made them affordable. The sword design is based on a 9th century piece found on the shore of a creek in England in 1976 and now on display at the Yorkshire Museum. Details: Welded core with pattern. High carbon edge. Based on a piece from the Yorkshire museum. Total: 86 cm. Blade length: 67.9 cm. Handle length: 15.2 cm. Weight: 1.28 kg Steel blade: Damascus and 1095 high carbon.
