Its forward-curved shape shifts weight toward the tip, turning every swing into more cutting force than a straight blade of the same length. Forged from high-carbon steel, the blade carries a thick spine that holds up under repeated impact without flexing or chipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt JWSteelCrafts, we get a lot of questions about this style.
