Unparalleled Craftsmanship & Mythological Design

A Blade Forged to Perfection

• Hand-Forged Folded T10 Steel: The heart of this Xuanwu Han Jian is its robust, hand-forged T10 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.

Symbolic Xuanwu Brass Fittings

• Xuanwu and Snake Motif: The sword is adorned with magnificent brass fittings that feature a majestic Xuanwu (Black Tortoise) and coiled snake. As one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations, Xuanwu is associated with the north, winter, and the element of water. It symbolizes longevity, wisdom, and stability.

• Premium Ebony Wood: The sword is securely housed in a premium ebony wood scabbard, known for its dense, dark, and beautiful grain. The handle is also crafted from ebony wood, providing a comfortable and secure grip that perfectly complements the sword's design.
