Our Master Smiths - The Artisans Behind DRACBLADE
The Hands That Forge Legends
Every DRACBLADE sword is hand-forged in Longquan, Zhejiang - a city with over 2,600 years of swordmaking history. Known as the Sword Capital of China, Longquan swordmaking was recognized as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2006.
Traditional Forging Process
Our master smiths follow the ancient technique of hundred-refinement steel folding (Bai Lian Gang). Each blade undergoes:
- Raw steel selection and heating to 1,200C
- Repeated folding and hammering (up to 15,000 layers for Damascus)
- Clay tempering to create the visible hamon (blade pattern)
- Hand polishing with 12 grades of whetstone
- Fitting assembly with traditional wood and alloy components
Our Workshop
Located at Lingshang Village, Longquan, our workshop combines centuries-old techniques with modern quality control. Each sword passes a 5-point inspection before receiving its certificate of authenticity.
Quality Commitment
We use only high-carbon steel (1060, T10) and genuine Damascus folding techniques. Every blade is a functional work of art, designed for collectors who appreciate authentic craftsmanship.
