Jian Swords

Tiger, leopard, eagle and snake – all powerful beasts except the snake which is depicted being taken by the high precision of the eagle. The snake is considered evil in Chinese culture. 

Interchangeable with a single or both hands, this Jian Chinese sword can be adapted to both hand-and-a-half and one handed sword fighting styles. The balanced and versatile blade is equally purposed for cutting and thrusting attacks and the Jian weapon is more than capable of matching any longsword or Japanese Katana sword duel. 

Presentable, ornamental and a highly decorative sword with deadly functionality. 

Key Features:

• Folded Damascus steel sword blade – razor sharp cutting edge with natural resilience to chipping & blade fracture. 
• Hand and a half sword handle – comfortably interchangeable between single and two handed fighting styles. 
• Double edged straight sword blade – perfectly balanced blade and versatile for both cutting and thrusting attacks. 
• Beautiful handle & scabbard materials with hand-carved fittings.
