Chinese Jian Damascus Folded Red Blade

This is a double-edged, straight Jian sword, often called the "gentleman blade" of the Chinese arsenal. It is made of Damascus Steel, which has been folded multiple times over itself to produce a total of 8192 visible, eye-friendly blade layers. The blade features a specially treated black and red extra layer applied through electroplating.

The handle is made of hardwood and the scabbard is made of rosewood, both bearing a reddish hue. The sword's fittings are of bronze, each enriched with ancient Chinese symbols. This sword is an ideal gift or decorative piece for a sword collection, yet can also be sharpened for cutting practice. A complimentary sword bag is included for safe storage.
