Hello,
I would like to know if any of you have experience with Wulflund swords and steel they use to make their swords.
Chemical composition of CSN 14260

I think silicone content is maybe a bit higher than in other steels? Does anyone have any experience with Wulflund swords, and do you know how would this steel compare to most common sword steels like 1075, 5160 and 6150?

I don't know how much this reply will help you, but -- I recently used some blunt Wulflund swords in a stage production. There was much blade on blade contact, lots of edge parrying. The edges held up remarkably well.

These are the swords we used -

Indeed, very short, used for a version of Homer's Odyssey (I know, not absolutely historically accurate, but kind of close)

I agree, little to no distal taper, but at least at this length, they felt OK in your hand. Of course, they are blunts, the Wulflund sharps could be different.

Doesn't Lutel use this?

Around the same as EN45-EN45A
and 9260, without digging through notes etc,
really good steel for western swords,
better choice's if wanting pretty hamons out there,{Katana blades}
but for everything else, as good as anything available,
with a proper heat treat,
it's as good as anything you can get nowadays,
:cool:
I'd buy it,

I recently bought a sword (used) made by Wulflund within the past year. My neighbor got it from Kult of Athena, and It's a very sturdy blade.
The steel is almost identical to EN45 as far as performance is concerned, and I have heard from a manufacturer that one of it's most desirable properties is how well it polishes up. I haven't run the Wulflund through a lot of cutting or testing, but two of my favorite cutters are from Armour Class of Scotland and they're both EN45.
