Hsu Jian, various blade lengths

Description

Hsu Jian, various blade lengths

Designed by world-renowned Chinese martial arts Master
Sifu
Adam Hsu, these Chinese straight swords (Jian) are becoming the
weapon
of choice in the Tai Chi community.

Functionality, weight and balance are paramount considerations in
Sifu
Hsu’s designs, while Hanwei’s quality and workmanship give the swords a graceful and pleasing appearance.

The blades are crafted in high carbon spring steel and have a pronounced center ridge and distal taper, producing exactly the right degree of stiffness and a very audible hiss in the cutting stroke.

The Ming-style steel guards have an embossed dragon symbol, while the open-ended pommels facilitate the fitting of a tassel. A unique feature is the “duck-bill lock” in the bottom of the scabbard, which securely holds the
sword
in place.

Made by Hanwei.
