This hand forged jian is a classic reproduction of the Han period - taking a beautiful tempered 75 Mn Spring Steel blade and mounting it in the traditional manner with the fittings of the era.
The Chinese were so ahead of their time that they had two handed swords nearly 1000 years before the West. This Han Dynasty (221BC to 206AD) sword is a stunning example of the technological advancements of the ancient Chinese.
Designed to be used primarily with two hands, but capable of being used with one, they were versatile and powerful cut and thrust swords of truly amazingly quality.
These 2,000 year old designs often featured advanced lamination, folding and differentially hardened edges.
This sword is fully functional, yet it also makes a beautiful collectors piece.
The affordably priced Han Dynasty jian long sword comes with a beautiful silk lined display box.
