This Traditional Chinese Straight Sword (Jian) has a light blade that is very responsive, yet stiff enough to support its own weight and pass traditional weapon requirements for competitions. The elegant brassy fittings and stainless steel blade are easy maintenance for every day practice. Note that these weapons are all handmade and subject to slight variations in measurements. Comes with a handmade wooden scabbard, tassel, and a durable, custom-fitted, black nylon carrying case.
