Product Details
This Han Dynasty Jian features a 12.5-inch 1045 carbon steel blade heat-treated to 58 HRC. The flat of the blade is engraved with a dense seigaiha (fish-scale wave) pattern that catches light along every curve, while the edge itself is hand-finished to a clean, refined profile. At 1.5 lbs for the blade alone, the steel delivers a satisfying heft without dragging the balance point forward.
The handle runs 6.5 inches in hardwood, wrapped with black cord over red ray-skin for grip texture and moisture management. A bronze-toned alloy guard sits at the blade junction, cast in a squared profile with traditional Chinese key-fret motifs carved into each face. The matching pommel cap mirrors the guard's scrollwork, closing out the hilt with visual symmetry.
Bronze alloy fittings appear at five points along the scabbard and hilt - guard, pommel, scabbard mouth band, midsection collar, and endcap. Each piece carries interlocking ring patterns and geometric borders drawn from Han-era decorative traditions. A black leather cord band at the scabbard's center provides a carry point and breaks up the wood grain with contrasting texture.
The scabbard itself is crafted from wenge and rosewood, showing a rich brown grain with natural tonal variation across its 12.5-inch length. The matte surface finish lets the wood's figure speak for itself, while the brass-toned metal bands protect high-wear zones at the mouth and tip. This is a standout piece among our Han Sword collection for its level of decorative hardware.
At 29 inches overall and 3 lbs total, this Jian balances well for one-handed forms in tai chi or wushu practice. Collectors drawn to Han Dynasty aesthetics will appreciate the period-accurate fittings and natural hardwood construction. Each piece is individually handcrafted, so minor variations in grain and patina make every sword unique. For more straight-blade Chinese designs, browse our full Han Sword selection.
