Chinese Jian Sword

Blade characteristics include a hard & tough, reliable & durable cutting edge, along with desirable blade resilience and good elasticity, which 1095, being technically a higher carbon content spring steel, is renowned for. 

Further promoting perfection, is the very difficult process of clay-tempering the blade. This process precisely facilitates hardening of the blade’s edge, while leaving the blade’s core and spine softer and thus resilient. Definitely a marker of advanced sword-making technology and visibly identifiable on this sword’s blade. 

Finished with solid Rosewood handle & scabbard materials, and minimal metal-alloy fittings, this Chinese double edged sword presents clean and simple, in full traditional form.

Presentable, a pleasure to own, and a versatile, deadly weapon use.
