forged weapons

Forged weapons are created by heating metal until it becomes malleable and then shaping it with tools like hammers and anvils. This traditional process gradually refines the metal’s structure, resulting in a strong, durable tool or weapon. Unlike casting, which involves pouring molten metal into molds, forging aligns the metal’s internal grain for increased toughness. Forged weapons, such as knives, swords, or axes, are often more resilient and reliable due to this method. The process requires skill and craftsmanship, producing blades that can withstand heavy use and maintain sharpness longer than other manufacturing techniques.
