Decorative Sword Jian

Forged with folded steel, which is a mixture of 1045 soft steel, 1060 high carbon steel, manganese spring 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, a technique renowned for smithing the finest combat sword blades. 

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. 

Sword and scabbard fittings are decorated with intricate copper artworks, of which many are gilded in real gold – very lavish materials and artistry, spanning thousands of years of tradition.

Fit for high-end collection, a treasure to own, and a versatile, formidable weapon use.
