Unparalleled Craftsmanship & Symbolic Design

A Blade Forged to Perfection

• Hand-Forged Damascus Steel: The heart of this Lion Jian is its robust, hand-forged T10 Damascus folded steel blade. The steel is meticulously folded to create thousands of layers, resulting in a beautiful and authentic grain pattern (HADA) on the blade's surface. This process enhances the blade's resilience and aesthetic depth.

• Masterful Hazuya Polish: The blade receives a meticulous Hazuya polish, a specialized technique that enhances the natural beauty of the steel's layers. This intensive polishing process brings out the intricate details and gives the blade its signature gleaming, high-quality finish.

• Full Tang Construction: For superior strength, balance, and durability, the blade is constructed with a full tang, extending through the entire handle. This robust design makes the sword incredibly solid and reliable.

Noble Lion Fittings and Rosewood Sheath

• Pure Copper Lion Fittings: The sword is adorned with magnificent pure copper fittings that feature a majestic lion motif. In Chinese culture, the lion is a powerful symbol of protection, power, nobility, and authority. The "Chinese Guardian Lions" (石狮) have historically stood watch at imperial palaces, temples, and homes, guarding against evil spirits.

• Premium Rosewood: The sword is securely housed in a high-grade rosewood scabbard, known for its dense, rich grain and beautiful color. The handle is also crafted from rosewood, providing a comfortable and secure grip that perfectly complements the sword's design.
