【Self-Smelting Steel Mixed Raw Iron Forging Craft & Collection Value】
Classic Tang straight sword handcrafted by ZGLQ smith following ancient formula. The blade is folded forged from traditional self-smelting steel mixed with natural raw iron, combining two metal properties to form soft natural original ji-hada grain with authentic antique blade texture. Standard ancient heat treatment stabilizes hardness at 58 HRC, perfectly balancing rigidity and flexibility to resist chipping and bending during long-term appreciation. Multi-stage segmented hand mirror polishing delivers smooth transparent blade surface with mild delicate luster. Nakago engraved with exclusive master signature as authentic ancient handmade collection mark. Minimalist elegant design fits collectors who prefer low-key antique style and simple Chinese interior.
