Ming Dynasty Sword
The pattern of the Ming Sword dates from the Ming Dynasty (1368
AD -- 1644 AD), which ruled China for almost three centuries after the fall of
the Mongol controlled Yuan Dynasty. The beauty of this delightfully compact
sword centers on its superb pattern-welded K120C blade, forged with a ridged
central fuller providing the stiffness required for thrusting and the lightness
required for speed. The grip is sculpted from brown buffalo horn, which is also
used in thin, translucent wafers as a shell for the intricately decorated
scabbard. The brass fittings are selectively decorated with dynastic designs
plated in silver.
