Chinese Han Jian Sword

Han Jian, as the name suggests, is a steel sword that flourished in the Han Dynasty (206 B.C.–220 A.D.). As the development of the iron industry in the Han Dynasty broke the limit of the length of the bronze sword, the Han jian was increasingly lighter, thinner, longer and sharper, it had already replaced bronze swords and widely used in the military in the Western Han Dynasty. As the last battlefield sword, Han Jian has an irreplaceable position in the history of Chinese swords.

The jian blade is straight and upright, it looks plain and unpretentious when sheathe the sword, and fails to show restraint when draw the sword out. In a manner of speaking, Han Jian represents the gentle, courteous and courteous style of China's Confucian culture.
