? Historical Significance:

The forging technique—bai lian hua wen gang (百炼花纹钢)—produces distinct water, cloud, or grain patterns after polishing. With roots in the Han, Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties, this process involves folding the steel up to 384 layers, achieving optimal resilience (韧性) and spring strength. Each sword is hand-hammered with precision by a master and assistant smith working in tandem to create both a weapon and a collectible work of art.
