    This classically styled Qing Dynasty Jian is responsive and agile in the hand and its broad blade is well suited for decisive cutting; the diamond cross section in the blade and its raised midsection gives it plenty of reinforcement for delivering a powerful, puncturing thrust as well. Its a simple, but sturdily executed sword with the themed motif of the Yazi; a Chinese mythical beast with a dragon’s head and a wolf body. As one of the 9 sons of the dragon, the Yazi is characterized by its tempestuous temper and fierceness and this made the creature a popular theme for ornamentation of Qing swords and weapons. Its pommel bears a stylized tiger face with banded stripes and bared teeth.

    The blade is forged from GB 60Si2MnA High Carbon Manganese Spring Steel (a steel similar to 5160 high carbon steel) with a tempered hardness of 54-55 HRc – it will cut tatami well with paired with good technique. The base of the blade on a single side has the etched LK Chen logo. The guard and pommel are detailed cast brass and the grip is tough and smoothly polished Rosewood. The sword is paired with a scabbard of matching hand-carved Rosewood and is thoroughly embellished with intricately detailed bright cast brass fittings. A knotted brown cord completes the scabbard.
