The Original Sword First Created Now sits in the Medieval Historical Museum of Portugal.
This 12th–14th-century medieval two-handed sword is made using the ancient Japanese sword-making style and technique called go mai (meaning "five-piece"). It’s made from 8670, 13C26, VG10, 4140, and L2 high-carbon stainless steel and low-carbon steel, all forged together to give the blade a unique temper at about 60-63 on the Rockwell scale. The sword’s construction provides it with extremely unique flexibility and allows it to hold an exceptionally sharp, razor’s edge.
The blade is approximately 39.6 inches long, with a handle of about 8.885 inches. The total length of the sword is approximately 48.4 inches.
The handle is crafted from German Black Forest walnut and wrapped in Chinese handwoven silk with a satin red velvet leather covering.
The scabbard/sheath is made from English chestnut with a Chinese silk and satin lining. The outside of the scabbard combines layered Chinese silk, handwoven Indian red velvet satin, and rose-dyed kangaroo hide. The "Blackleaf" vegetal scrollwork and individually seeded background reference extant period leatherwork and contemporary armor engraving.
This piece is entirely hand-crafted and is now available for any customer who wishes to own their very own museum-quality replica.
