Black-Blade Han Jian – High-Manganese Steel Chinese Sword

Hand-finished in Longquan, this Black-Blade Han Jian combines a supplier-listed high-manganese steel blade with a straight, double-edged Jian profile, contrasting bright lines, and a silver-tone dragon motif near the guard. A black cord-wrapped wood handle, relief-decorated fittings, and black faux-leather-wrapped wood scabbard complete its coordinated presentation for responsible adult collection, cultural display, gifting, photography, and controlled non-contact presentation.

Key Features

Specifications

Specification note: The two supplied weight values use a physically inconsistent with/without-scabbard order and have therefore been withheld pending verification. Handmade production measurements may also vary slightly between batches.

Materials and Construction
