Description

ZUBENG FORGE

 Zubeng Forge is a Smithy in the heart of China, Master Rich Chen uses an Ancient formula to create true Tamahagane steel for his swords and knives.  Making Tamahagane steel is a long and labor intensive process which starts with select Iron Sand and other Natural materials that are found in only a few places in the world.

Here is a video of Master Chen making Tamahagane for his Sword

                 

  Fort Henry Custom Knives is proud to the EXCLUSIVE ONLINE DEALER for Master Rich Chen of Zubeng Forge


 Just Received ~ Direct from the Maker from the Blade Show 2014

Exclusively at Fort Henry Custom Knives 

Master Chen brought me a piece of the actual Tamahagane Steel as it appears “In Process” 

 This is rare, small Light Weight Flat Ground blade that would work beautifully as a Bird N Trout, General Carry or Small Game Hunting knife.

Hand Forged from the same hand made Tamahagane steel that  Master Chen uses for his High End Chinese swords!

A Differential Heat Treat leaves an intricate flowing Hamon which defines the Hardness Zones of the blade ~ from the Softer spine to the Hard Cutting Edge.  This type of Hamon is clearly visible in all true Tamahagane pieces ~ this one is especially clear and refined.

The handle is nicely contoured ~ this is a small, Full Tang knife with a Full Grip sized handle, easily carried and it will fit most any grip.
