The blade had a forward curve and was originally used for cutting meat, slaughter, or animal sacrifice. The use changed over time to a weapon, as did the size. Early versions were upwards of 26” long while later versions were as short as 19”. The concave shape of the blade, with the enlarging portion closer to the tip, helped deliver a powerful chop, similar to an axe. The handle had a inward curve to shelter the hand during the blows.

It has a carbon level of .95% which is one of the highest carbon levels for any type of steel. The most common high carbon swords are 1045 steel which only have .45% carbon content in the steel. 1095 steel is known for its ability to maintain an edge and is an incredibly hard steel. 1095 steel typically has a hardness of 56-58 HRC. The problem with 1095 steel is that it is lacks flexibility. Flexibility is critical to sword making so the sword doesn't break on high impact collisions. To increase the flexibility of this steel, clay tempering is used to soften the steel. The clay is thickly painted on the blade to insulates the parts of the blade that we want softened so they cool more slowly during the quenching process. In this case, the clay is painted everywhere except the edge. This clay tempering process keeps the strong and sharp edge of the blade while allowing the rest of the blade to be more flexible. This process optimizes the strength of the blade and maximizes its sharpness creating an incredible strong blade and sharp edge.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.9871999999999999; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 11pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 1.75em;\"\u003eSword Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandle Material: Wood and Brass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall Length: 19\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRockwell Hardness: 56-58 HRC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSheath: Leather sheath\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade Material: 1095 Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKopis Sword- High Carbon 1095 Steel Sword- 19\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Battlingbladess","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33797388435587,"sku":"2000020195","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2234\/4067\/products\/IMG0023.jpg?v=1622817990"},{"product_id":"spartan-shield-greek-shield-armor-24-metal","title":"Spartan Shield- Greek Shield- Armor- 24\" Metal","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"flex-1 overflow-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"react-scroll-to-bottom--css-ugyjj-79elbk h-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"react-scroll-to-bottom--css-ugyjj-1n7m0yu\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-col pb-9 text-sm\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-testid=\"conversation-turn-5\" class=\"w-full text-token-text-primary\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"px-4 py-2 justify-center text-base md:gap-6 m-auto\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-1 text-base mx-auto gap-3 md:px-5 lg:px-1 xl:px-5 md:max-w-3xl lg:max-w-[40rem] xl:max-w-[48rem] group final-completion\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative flex w-full flex-col agent-turn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"min-h-[20px] text-message flex flex-col items-start gap-3 whitespace-pre-wrap break-words [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-5 overflow-x-auto\" data-message-id=\"6f2cc617-f700-44a7-acac-95285000944e\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpartan Shield- Greek Shield- Armor- 24\" Metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnhance your collection with the iconic Spartan Shield, a symbol of valor and the pinnacle of ancient Greek military prowess.

Its historical journey saw a transition in size from the early versions, which were over 26 inches long, to more compact forms as short as 19 inches. The unique forward curvature and the concave design of the blade, with a broadening shape near the tip, made it exceptionally efficient for delivering powerful, axe-like chops. The intelligently designed handle, curving inward, provided optimal hand protection during intense use.

This material choice ensures superior edge retention and remarkable hardness, typically ranging between 56-58 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale (HRC). While 1095 steel's high carbon content contributes to its exceptional hardness, it traditionally limits flexibility—a crucial attribute for withstanding high-impact forces. To counteract this, our Kopis swords undergo a meticulous clay tempering process. This technique involves strategically applying clay to the blade, insulating selected areas to allow slower cooling during quenching. The edge remains uncoated, preserving its innate sharpness, while the rest of the blade gains enhanced flexibility. This fusion of hardness and flexibility culminates in a blade that boasts an incredibly strong and sharp edge, optimized for both durability and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSword Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 inches, a compact yet effective size for handling and maneuverability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1095 High Carbon Steel, providing an exemplary balance of sharpness and strength.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e A robust combination of wood and brass, offering a sturdy and comfortable grip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRockwell Hardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56-58 HRC, indicating a high level of blade hardness for enduring sharpness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheath:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes a custom-fitted leather sheath, ensuring protection and ease of carry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Battlingbladess","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36331643568290,"sku":"2000020016","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2234\/4067\/products\/DSC06273.jpg?v=1600892062"},{"product_id":"kopis-sword-high-carbon-damascus-steel-knife-sword-19","title":"Kopis Sword- High Carbon Damascus Steel Knife\/ Sword- 19\"","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eImmerse yourself in the pages of history with this meticulously recreated Kopis sword.

This steel, notable for a significant carbon content of .95%, distinguishes itself for its extraordinary hardness and superior edge retention. With a Rockwell Hardness rating of 56-58 HRC, this blade is built to endure the rigors of combat. Yet, a blade's usefulness in battle is also dependent on its flexibility, which prevents it from shattering upon impact. Our swordsmiths, aware of the rigidity inherent to 1095 steel, have employed the revered technique of clay tempering to impart this blade with a flexible spine while maintaining a razor-sharp edge. By applying clay along the spine prior to quenching, the blade's edge is cooled rapidly to retain its hardness while the spine, cooled slowly, acquires a flexible character.

The more traditional method is to hold the blade vertically and tap the ball every few inches along the spine. The fine powder particles will be drawn to the blade while the heavier powder particles will fall past the blade. The powder should then removed from the blade with another cloth wiping over the spine from hilt to tip in one direction. Remember, you are simply removing the powder and excess oil at this point – you’re not polishing nor do you want to scratch the blade.
