This folded steel is then forge-weld laminated together into two separate sections, with soft folded steel used for the blade’s inner core & spine, and hard folded steel used for the blade’s cutting edge and two protective blade sides – into an advanced Kobuse laminate structure.
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 Jian’s blade.
Compiled with a premium Ebony wood scabbard, exquisite red copper fittings, and a practical Ebony wood, wrapped in quality cord handle. This Chinese straight sword is certainly positioned for high value collection and makes an extremely deadly and formidable weapon of war.
