Cold Steel's Emperor Series Swords are meticulously designed with fully sharpened 1055 carbon steel blades, ensuring durability and superior cutting performance. Each blade undergoes heat treatment to achieve a spring temper, enhancing its resilience and ability to withstand impact. The craftsmanship extends to the blade's surface, which is hand-polished to a high standard, showcasing a striking mirror finish on the fuller (blood groove). This attention to detail not only contributes to the swords' aesthetic appeal but also reflects Cold Steel's commitment to quality and functionality, making them a distinguished choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
