The single-edged Tang Dao sword was the favored weapon during the Tang Dynasty after Chinese and Korean swordsmiths emigrated to Japan. Their metallurgical skills were highly sought after, and the Japanese adopted some of their sword making techniques including steel folding and using clay for differential hardening.
Each Tang Dao is forged by our mastersmiths in Longquan, a region that was central to sword production in the Song Dynasty. The blade is made of 1095 high carbon steel and clay tempered with a mirror-like finish.
