Ancient Tibetan Broadsword - Handcrafted Spring Steel Collectible With Silver Sheath & Gemstone Inlay 31.5 Inches

At 31.5 inches and 3.8 lbs, this is the flagship piece of TrueKatana's Tibetan collection - a full-size broadsword that commands attention in any display setting. The sheer scale of this piece allows the silver relief work and gemstone inlay to develop across a surface area that smaller Tibetan knives simply cannot match. This is a statement collectible designed to serve as the centerpiece of a wall display, a mantelpiece, or a dedicated collection shelf.

The silver sheath runs the full length of the blade, covered in hand-detailed relief work featuring traditional Himalayan motifs, dragon figures, floral scrollwork, and gemstone cabochons in turquoise and coral-red. The depth and density of the metalwork on this piece reflects its premium positioning - the three-dimensional relief is deeper, the individual motifs are more elaborate, and the gemstone settings are more numerous than on smaller pieces in the collection.

The Chinese name 雪域藏刀 (Snow Region Tibetan Blade) references the high-altitude origins of this sword tradition. The Himalayan plateau - often called the "Snow Region" in Chinese - developed its own distinct metalworking aesthetic over centuries, blending influences from Chinese, Tibetan, Mongolian, and Central Asian craft traditions. This broadsword represents that cultural fusion at its most ambitious scale: the wide, curved blade profile follows Tibetan conventions, while the ornamental silverwork shows Chinese decorative influence in its motif density and gemstone placement patterns.

The blade is spring steel, a material chosen for its resilience in extreme temperature variations. At this size and weight, the craftsmanship required to maintain consistent balance and proportions is considerable - the transition from handle to blade to sheath tip maintains visual harmony throughout, with the silver metalwork providing consistent surface coverage from pommel to point.

Turquoise and coral gemstone cabochons are set throughout the silver work, following centuries of Himalayan convention where these two stones together represent prosperity, vitality, and cultural identity. The blue-green and red palette creates vivid contrast against the silver metalwork, making this piece visually compelling from across a room.
