This 30 piece features a high carbon spring steel blade, perfectly weighted and balanced with pronounced center ridge and distal taper. But of course, it is the exquisite detailing that makes this sword a cut above the rest.

The Ming style guards are beautifully embossed with a Dragon symbol and the 7 inch wooden handle adds an extra touch of authenticity. These blades come with their own unique wooden scabbard with specially formed tip to securely hold your blade. The Jian sword is the perfect piece for any Tai Chi practitioner and is becoming a fast favorite in martial arts communities that value an adherence to traditional sword making practices.
