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.
The end result is a blade with a hard, reliable and unmatched razor sharp cutting edge, along with excellent blade elasticity and renowned resilience against damage. Both of which are very important aspects of any true and battle ready combat sword.
Completed with a solid Ebony hardwood scabbard and combat practical, solid brass fittings, these features tastefully complement the quality and overall classic style of Chinese Jian sword. And finally, a hardwood wrapped with quality cord handle, guarantees this Jian is not only practical for real battle conditions, but also finished in full traditional Chinese traditional character.
A genuine collectable weapon and certainly a decorative work of true combat art. This Jian weapon is a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters weapon to use.
