Armageddon Survival Sword | 16" Blade | 80CRV2 Steel | NEW Hamon - Differential Heat Treat

Natural disaster. EMP. Zombie apocalypse. Are you ready to survive?

With more than 50 years of blade making experience behind us, we specialize in crafting real, working swords for modern users. We’ve taken some of the best designs history has to offer and reimagined them, using the most advanced materials and techniques available. Designed with a wider blade and tough tip for hacking and slashing, the Armageddon Survival Swords are just that: magnificent tools built to help you survive… you fill in the blank. Available in 13", 16" and 19" blade lengths. 

The Dawson hamon is the visual representation of an elite, differentially-hardened heat treatment inspired by the master swordsmiths of ancient Japan. The dark area along the edge is the hardest (Rockwell C 63-64) part of the blade, and the lighter area on the flat and spine is tempered much softer (Rockwell C 20-25). This produces a superior blade with exceptional lateral strength, edge sharpness and retention, and impact shock resistance.

We stand behind our blades with an exceptional lifetime warranty, backed by a reputation for quality unparalleled through more than a half-century in the industry.
