Qin Dynasty Jian Forged Pattern Steel Clay Tempered Blade

This is a take on a Chinese Jian sword, used during the Qin Dynasty (221 - 206 BCE), a period shrouded in wars and battlefields that first saw China's unification. The sword is crafted and constructed from pattern steel, folded to create Damascus-like forms that dance vibrantly across the blade. The unique 8-sided blade has undergone differential hardening, polishing, and clay-tempering to produce a genuine hamon.

Each of the sword's fittings is made from copper, with silver and gilt colors, enriched with auspicious clouds and flowers symbolizing goodwill and happy wishes. The handle and scabbard are fashioned from rosewood, a beautiful and sturdy material. This Jian is usable for cutting practice and martial arts Tai Chi training, provides great decor, and comes with a free sword bag. Optional engraving is also available.
