Often referred to as the \"long sword\" or \"long-sword,\" this weapon is distinguished by its cruciform hilt, straight double-edged blade, and the ability to be wielded with two hands. It's not just a weapon; it's a piece of history, defining the late medieval and Renaissance eras, tracing its lineage back from the 13th century, extending its influence until the 17th.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDuring the prime years of its use, it was colloquially termed the \"bastard sword.\" A true longsword, by definition, extends between 33 to 43 inches. The piece in focus measures a respectable 36 inches, sporting a 30-inch blade complemented by a 6-inch handle, crafted from wood and adorned with leather wrapping. Adding to its grandeur are the Damascus steel bolsters, culminating in a blend of beauty and brutality. For protection and ease of carrying, it comes encased in a handmade leather sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlade Craftsmanship: An Art of Steel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat sets this sword apart is the exquisite blade, forged from the revered Pattern welded Damascus steel. Renowned for its durability and unique visual appeal, this type of steel is created by heat treating folded carbon steel. The process is meticulous: starting with 11 distinct pieces of steel, folded in succession, it results in a staggering 352 layers. With a Rockwell hardness rating that flits between 55 and 56 HRC, it strikes a fine balance between rigidity and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe essence of high carbon Damascus steel lies in the integration of high carbon layers. The choice for this blade is the 1095 steel, esteemed for its carbon content. The outcome? A blade robust enough to retain its sharpness, yet flexible to resist the shocks of combat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDetails at a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHandle Composition\u003c\/strong\u003e: Leather-wrapped wood, enhanced with Brass Bolsters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: A total length of 36 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRockwell Hardness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ranging between 55-56 HRC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLayer Complexity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 352 distinct layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSheath\u003c\/strong\u003e: Crafted from leather for protective storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlade Composition\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCarbon Steel: A combination of 6 pieces, primarily #43 and #40.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHigh Carbon Steel: 5 pieces, each of 1095 grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLayering Technique\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1st Fold: 22 Layers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2nd Fold: 44 Layers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3rd Fold: 88 Layers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4th Fold: 176 Layers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5th Fold: 352 Layers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Battlingbladess","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7171298852898,"sku":"1000001000","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2234\/4067\/products\/DSC01143.jpg?v=1575653516","url":"https:\/\/battlingbladess.shop\/products\/longsword-high-carbon-damascus-steel-sword-36","provider":"Battlingbladess","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
