Looks nice!!!
Not to burst your bubble, but 1060 isn't High Carbon; High Carbon is 1080 or higher, usually reserved for 1095. With 10XX, the XX equals the percentage of carbon in the steel. 1060 isn't much higher in carbon than the hot-rolled steel you can buy from Lowes. ETA: That said, it can still be sharpened just likely not stay sharp as long. |

ETA: That said, it can still be sharpened just likely not stay sharp as long. 1060 CARBON STEEL 1060 Carbon Steel is a great compromise between hardness (edge holding ability) and pliability (strength) - and many swords famous for their DURABILITY, such as those by COLD STEEL and DARKSWORD ARMORY, are made from 1060 carbon steel. Consequentially, 1060 Carbon Steel swords are very popular, though because the steel is harder than 1045 - are more difficult to forge, shape and polish and thus almost always has a higher price tag. Definitely a great all round steel that is hard enough to take and keep a good edge but focused primarily on it's durability. http://www.sword-manufacturers-guide.com/sword-steels.html |

this is the makers site.. it says.. The 5160 high-carbon spring steel blade is plasma coated for corrosion protection and the checkered Kraton handle provides a sure foul-weather grip. 5160 SPRING STEEL 5160 Spring Steel is a low Chromium alloy steel, with around 0.7 Chromium - which is not enough to make it stainless (which requires a minimum of 13% Chromium) - but combined with a small amount of silicon (0.2%) results in an extremely tough and durable sword and is favored by sword makers such as ANGUS TRIM, GENERATION 2 and the blades designed by Michael Tinker Pearce and made by the HANWEI FORGE. 5160 Spring Steel was also the steel of choice for the famous Nepalese Khurki - blades so tough and so sharp they are reportedly able to cut off a buffalos head with a single strike! Again, what is critically important is the heat treatment - if it is applied wrong, even the best 5160 Spring Steel sword will take a set (Generation 2 had some issues with this way back in 2007), but when applied properly - the end result is spectacular. |
