Jian
| 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. The Jians are available with
the grips and scabbards made from either fiberglass (Single-hand
SH2269A,B,C and D, Double-hand SH2278) for extreme durability or
exotic wood (Single-hand SH2313A,B,C and D, Double-hand SH2316)
for the traditionalist. A unique feature is the "duck-bill lock" in
the bottom of the scabbard that securely holds the sword in place.
The single-hand sword is available in four blade sizes SH2269A,
SH2313A - 28", SH2269B,
SH2313B - 30", SH2269C, SH2313C - 32" and SH2269D, SH2313D - 34".
The two-hand Jian (SH2278, SH2316) features a 36" blade and an
11" grip. With a weight of less than 2 lbs. this long sword handles
beautifully. |
