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

I have Only One Left In Stock 

Recently Master Chen presented me with a piece of the actual Tamahagane Steel he makes ~ this is as it appears “In Process” 

 This is a Traditional Tool called a Kiri dashi – which literally translated means “to carve out”.  Very popular with Wood Carvers, Bonsai Tree artists and general home use.

IMG_4171_optThese are Hand crafted from the same hand made Tamahagane steel as Master Chen uses to create his Custom Chinese swords.  This version is a Thicker Steel ~ measuring .080 (which is slightly more than 3/16″ thick) and wrapped in a Single Piece or Tough Rattan.

Differential Heat Treat leaves the Edge hard and sharp (approx 62 Rc). The Cutting Edge is approx 1  1/4″  – 1  1/2″ Long

A Chisel Ground Edge provides precision cutting ability and only Stropping is recommended to maintain the edge.  

This is an integral piece, the handle is Approx 5  1/2″ Long with a Thong Hole at the End.
