Chinese Straight Sword

The most valuable part of any sword however is its blade, with this T10 folded steel blade, certainly forming a high core standard, to this fully functional and battle ready Jian weapon.

Forged with T10 steel, a high-carbon steel mixed with other trace elements, such as tungsten, manganese and silicon, etc, this modern, highly refined steel is renowned for its hardness, durable edge holding capacity, along with good elasticity and resilience. It is the highest carbon-content steel used for blade-smithing, and arguably the best sword-making steel available for a true combat 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 sword-making technology and visibly identifiable through a very special pattern, on this sword’s blade. 

Completed with a genuine aged Sandalwood handle and scabbard, and solid brass fittings, this classic Chinese Jian sword is truly high quality in its entirety. 

Fit for high-end collection, a pleasure to own, and a versatile, deadly weapon use.
