A Thousand Talents | Roman Short Sword | Dawson Select Steel | Arizona Ironwood

A Thousand Talents is a luxury heirloom piece forged at the crossroads of ancient prestige and modern mastery. Measuring 17 1/8" overall, it features an 11" USA-made Damascus blade whose flowing patterns evoke a legacy of strength and artistry. The heat-anodized bolsters and pommel shimmer with a regal, captivating blue depth, offering a contemporary echo of Rome’s enduring splendor.

A sculpted Ironwood handle, secured with mosaic pins, provides both richness and permanence, balancing the blade’s commanding presence. Crafted to be treasured, and eventually passed to the next generation, a legacy worth remembering is worth more than A Thousand Talents of gold, and greater than a galaxy of stars.
