Jeongwuk Han
Work
No. 3
Description
Mounted with a deep red wrap and a crested medallion set into the scabbard's end, the most heraldic of Han's pieces here. The pattern-welded blade is consistent with No. 1 and No. 2, what changes across the three is the language of the mounting, not the forging.
Technique
Sacheol: steel smelted directly from iron-bearing sand rather than refined ore, folded and forged by hand into a layered blade structure, reconstructed from historical record rather than an unbroken workshop practice.
