19th Century Chinese Guardian Lion Jian Cane Sword

The Guardian Lion is one of the most revered symbols in East Asia, known for protecting homes and loved ones. This cane sword is adorned with that very symbol, believed to bring an aura of defense and strength to its bearer. Historically, such canes were favored not only for walking but also for self-defense against unexpected threats.

It features a Jian-style, double-edged blade forged from folded carbon steel. The repeated folding process creates layered patterns that seem to dance across the surface. A central fuller reduces the weight, making it easier to handle.

The handle and scabbard are made from polished ebony wood, offering a smooth feel and an elegant visual finish. The brass fittings, including the locking mechanism, add both function and ornamental charm.

The bottom of the cane is equipped with a rubber pad, providing added comfort and grip during walks.
