Jian Damascus Folded Ebony Scabbard Sword

This "Zhanlu Jian" sword, a replica, pays tribute to Ou Yezi, ancient China's most renowned swordsmith who performed his work during the Spring and Autumn Period (771 - 481 BCE). Per legend, this was the first of five distinguished blades named Zhanlu by King Yue. This sword represents a connection to ancient Chinese origins and conveys love and blessings from the ancestors.

It is a double-edged straight sword, made from folded Damascus Steel, boasting over 8192 visible blade layers. Its handle and scabbard consist of dark ebony wood, while its fittings offer a bright golden contrast. Created from brass, they are enriched with Chinese dragon motifs and various beasts. The sword is heat-treated, oil-quenched, and polished, making it a functional sharpened piece, an unsharpened training tool, or a decorative item. It is accompanied by a free sword bag.
