Hanwei Qi Jian
|
From the master swordsmiths of the Hanwei forge comes the Qi Jian, a re-creation of an ancient sword 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.
This Ancient Chinese Sword 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 Ancient sword presentation.
