Unparalleled Craftsmanship & Timeless Design

Exceptional Damascus Folded Steel Blade

• Hand-Forged Damascus Steel: The heart of this Han Jian is its hand-forged Damascus folded steel blade. Through a traditional and intricate folding process (13 times to create 8192 layers), this high-carbon steel showcases a mesmerizing and authentic grain pattern (HADA) on the blade's surface. This process removes impurities and enhances the blade's inherent strength and resilience.

• Traditional Clay Tempering (Optional): While the default is high-performance folded steel, a traditional clay tempering process can be applied to create a distinct and beautiful hamon (temper line) along its edge, selectively hardening the edge for superior sharpness and durability (please inquire for this option).

• Fully Hand Polished: Each blade receives extensive hand polishing through multiple stages, bringing out the intricate patterns and ensuring a gleaming, high-quality finish that highlights its formidable sharpness.

• Double-Edged Precision: This Jian features a classic straight, double-edged blade, designed for agile and precise movements, true to historical Chinese straight swords.

• Full Tang Construction: For superior strength, balance, and durability, the blade is constructed with a full tang, extending through the entire handle, making it robust for rigorous use.

Regal Fittings & Premium Scabbard

• High-Quality Brass Fittings: The sword is adorned with finely crafted brass fittings that feature traditional Han Dynasty motifs, reflecting the power and status of its era. These detailed mountings include the Tsuba (guard), Fuchi, Kashira, and other accents, adding a touch of imperial grandeur.

• Luxurious Ebony Wood Scabbard: The sword is securely housed in a premium ebony wood scabbard, known for its dense, dark, and beautiful grain. The scabbard is further embellished with matching brass fittings, creating a cohesive and visually striking appearance that perfectly complements the sword's regal aesthetic.
