W1 and W2 Cable Steels

Used to make elevator and bridge cables, W1 and W2 have a similar hardness to 1095 steel, but with better impact and wear resistance, and elasticity. Because of its carbon content, it forms beautiful hamon, which Cloudhammer can embellishes with sashikomi polishing; it can also make for beautiful pear skin finishes.

Cable Steels balance between practical and artistic swords, with suguha hamon having the highest functionality for actual use.
