BATTLE READY SWORDS FAQS

What makes a sword "battle ready"?
A "battle ready" sword is designed and constructed to withstand the rigors of actual use. Three key things define a battle ready sword. The blade stock must be made with an alloy suitable for hard use (common alloys used for this application include 1060 and 1075 alloys, some spring steels, T10, and some damascus alloys), the tang must be a full tang (not a rat-tail tang) that is contiguous with the blade stock (not welded on) and the blade must be properly tempered. The latter part is critical: tempering a sword enables it to hold an edge as well as to absorb impact without chipping, shattering, or bending and taking a set.
