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 2013 

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 crafted from the same hand made Tamahagane steel as Ancient Chinese swords.

Differential Heat Treat leaves an intricate flowing Hamon which defines the hardness zones of the blade from the Softer spine and is clearly visible in all true Tamahagane pieces.

The Cocobolo handle has rich dark coloring and wonderful natural grain. It is nicely contoured ~ this is a small Full Tang ablade that will fit most any grip, the Small Brass Pins add an elegant touch.
