24" HANDMADE D2 STEEL SURVIVAL MACHETE SWORD, FULL TANG SWORD, COMBAT SWORD, MICARTA HANDLE

D2 steel, known for its excellent balance of hardness and toughness, is a high-carbon, air-hardening tool steel. A sword made from D2 steel typically features:

1. Blade: The blade is hard and maintains a sharp edge, thanks to D2’s high carbon content and chromium, which also enhances corrosion resistance. This makes it suitable for both durability and performance in cutting tasks.

2. Edge Retention: D2 steel offers outstanding edge retention, meaning it holds its sharpness longer than many other steels, requiring less frequent sharpening.

3. Flexibility and Toughness: While it’s hard, D2 also possesses enough toughness to withstand the stresses of use, making it less likely to chip or break.

4. Finish: D2 swords often have a polished or satin finish, highlighting the steel's fine grain and aesthetic appeal. Some may have a coating for added protection against corrosion.

5. Usage: Ideal for both functional and decorative swords, D2 steel is popular among martial artists, collectors, and those who appreciate high-performance blades.

Overall, a D2 steel sword is a robust, versatile choice for anyone looking for a reliable cutting tool with great longevity.
