Qi Jian
| From the master swordsmiths of the Hanwei forge comes the Qi
Jian, a re-creation of an ancient design that utilized one-piece
forging. The entire sword, from pommel to tip, has been forged
from a single billet of steel. This forging technique provides
unparalleled strength and balance while exhibiting a clear, bell-like
tone when lightly struck. The sword's name originates with the
Qi nation, one of the many warring states that eventually formed
modern China. Legend has it that Feng-Xuan, one of the Qi people
and a central character in a well known folk tale, possessed such
a one piece sword and would use its ringing quality to accompany
his singing. The sword's grip is rayskin wrapped, a feature matched
by the wrap on the throat of the scabbard, making for a stunningly
beautiful presentation. |
