Grooved High Manganese Steel Blade

A central groove runs along the blade, creating visual depth and helping distinguish this model from plain flat-ground Jian designs. The polished raised ridges and recessed central channel emphasize the sword’s long symmetrical geometry.

The supplied information does not provide measured balance-point data or confirm the exact weight reduction produced by the groove. The groove should therefore be described as a structural and visual blade feature rather than making an unverified performance claim.

Han-Inspired Decorative Presentation

The guard, handle, pommel, and scabbard fittings use geometric and scroll-based ornamentation inspired by Qin and Han visual traditions. These details create a coordinated historical aesthetic while maintaining the durability and consistency of modern alloy fittings.

This is a newly made Han-inspired collector sword rather than a museum-certified reproduction of a specific archaeological artifact.
