Tricolor Copper Han Jian Dragon Sword Chinese Sword Folded Steel Clay Temper Blade

Hand-Forged Han Dynasty Jian – Folded Steel Blade with Tri-Color Copper Dragon Fittings

This exquisite Han Dynasty Jian sword is a testament to the artistry and strength of traditional Chinese swordsmithing. Hand-forged from folded high carbon steel, the blade undergoes clay tempering to produce a prominent natural hamon, offering both flexibility and cutting performance. Its double-edged design embodies the historical elegance and combat utility of the Chinese jian.

What truly sets this sword apart is its tri-color copper fittings, intricately carved with dragon motifs, representing power, wisdom, and protection in Chinese culture. The wooden scabbard is wrapped in black lacquered rayskin, paired with a matching copper chape and locket for a refined and luxurious finish.

Each detail—from the hand-polished blade to the balanced full-tang construction—is designed for collectors, martial artists, and cultural enthusiasts who appreciate authenticity and beauty.
