Every Longquan sword passes through the hands of master smiths using techniques refined over 2,600 years — the craft is listed as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage of China.
High-carbon steel is selected and combined to balance hardness, toughness and edge retention.
The billet is folded and welded repeatedly by hammer, creating the flowing water pattern unique to each blade.
Clay is applied along the spine before quenching, producing a hard edge and resilient body.
From coarse stones to fine powder polish — up to three weeks of work for a mirror finish.
Brass or bronze guards, rosewood or lacquered scabbards, silk wrapping — all fitted by hand.
Each blade is checked for straightness, edge geometry, balance and finish before export packing.
Our workshop brings together over 30 smiths, polishers and fitters — several of them recognized inheritors of the Longquan sword-making tradition. Each master signs off only on blades that meet the standard he would accept for his own collection.
