Autumn Water Tang Sword | 609 Pattern Steel, Dragon-Phoenix Sandalwood, Solid Brass Fittings, 110cm

The Autumn Water Tang Sword (Qiushui Tang Jian) is an exquisite, full-tang Chinese collector sword that blends ancient Tang Dynasty aesthetics with modern forging mastery. Featuring a 609 pattern-welded steel blade and premium Dragon-Phoenix sandalwood mountings, this 110cm masterpiece is designed for collectors who value historical authenticity and handcrafted character.

609 Pattern-Welded Steel — The Flowing Autumn Water

The blade is forged using high-quality 609 pattern-welded steel (Damascus style). Through a traditional process of repeatedly folding and hammering the steel, the blade develops a breathtaking, undulating grain pattern that resembles the ripples of autumn water (Qiushui). This folding process not only creates a unique visual matrix on every blade but also enhances the structural integrity and toughness of the sword.

Dragon-Phoenix Sandalwood Construction

Both the 31cm extended handle and the custom-fitted scabbard (saya) are carved from premium Dragon-Phoenix sandalwood (Longfeng Tan). This highly sought-after hardwood is prized for its extreme density, durability, and striking natural wood grain. It provides a secure, comfortable grip while offering an elegant, traditional aesthetic that contrasts beautifully with the brass fittings.

Solid Brass Fittings

The sword is mounted with solid yellow brass fittings (guard, collar, and pommel). These brass accents add a touch of imperial elegance to the overall design, providing both structural reinforcement and a stunning visual complement to the dark sandalwood.
