Chinese Jian Swords

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 over 1,200 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 materials are a time-aged, dark Ebony hardwood, and fittings are decorated with hand-carved artworks, which are constructed from unique, premium-grade copper and nickel metals – the intricate illustrative artworks are very beautiful. 

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