Sacred Sword Jian

Equipped with a folded steel blade, which is a hammer-welded mixture of 1095 & 1060 high carbon steel, manganese spring steel, 1045 soft steel and many more smaller portions of other steels. This mixture is then folded multiple times to remove impurities, creating many hundreds of individual steel layers, finally producing arguably the best sword-making steel available.

The process and technique is renowned for smithing the finest combat sword blades, and certainly forms a very lethal foundational core to this Chinese sword Jian. 

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. 

Completed with a hand-craved brass scabbard, along with intricate brass fittings – many of which are plated with real gold & silver, and a hardwood, partially wrapped with brass handle, forming a traditional and effective hand-grip. 

Fit for high-end collection, a treasure to own, and a formidable Chinese war sword to use.
