Equipped with a very special folded steel blade, which is a hammer-welded mixture of local, self-refined steels, 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 unique, and very lethal foundational core to this true Longquan sword.
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 Japanese sword-making technology and visibly identifiable on this Shinken sword blade.
Completed with a hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin scabbard, along with premium white-brass sword-fittings, and a matching hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai hand-grip.
This mid-sized Jian weapon is sharp and deadly, and is executed with fine craftsmanship. It’s highly collectable, a treasure to own and a formidable war sword to use.
