What makes T10 steel special?

T10 is a high-carbon tungsten steel known for its exceptional hardness, durability, and edge retention. It is often clay-tempered to create a distinct hamon and increase blade flexibility.

How do I maintain a T10 steel sword?

Regularly clean the blade with a soft cloth, apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust, and store it in a dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or fingerprints.

What is the difference between T10 steel and other high-carbon steels?

T10 steel contains tungsten, making it harder and more wear-resistant than standard 1060 or 1095 carbon steel. It holds a sharp edge longer while still maintaining toughness.

What is the best way to sharpen a T10 steel sword?

Use a whetstone or professional sharpening kit. Avoid power tools, as excessive heat can damage the blade’s temper. Follow the original edge angle for optimal sharpness.

How does T10 steel compare to folded steel?

T10 steel is a mono steel known for its strength and sharpness, while folded steel has multiple layers for aesthetic appeal. Folded steel does not necessarily improve performance.
