This practical Chinese
straight sword is designed by world-renowned Chinese martial arts Master
Adam Hsu. Master Adam Hsu was born in Shanghai, China in 1941. In 1949,
his family moved to Taiwan, where he spent twenty-five years studying
with the most respected kung fu masters. His principal teacher was the
renowned Grandmaster Liu Yun Chiao.
These Chinese straight swords (Jian) are sure to become the standard in
the martial arts community.
With function and
performance in mind during the design, these jian are constructed for
martial artists. The blades are made of high-carbon spring steel with
a ridgeline going down the center producing an intense audible feedback
when swung.
The Ming-style guard
is a beautifully ornate with an embossed Dragon symbol. The pommel is
open-ended to allow for a tassel. The handle and scabbard are made of
a high-resistance wood-grain polymer for durability and strength. Also,
the handle has grooves running down it to increase sensitivity when held.
One unique feature
is the "duck-bill lock" in the bottom of the scabbard that securely
holds the sword in place. Sifu Adam Hsu has done the martial arts community
a great service in designing such an affordable and functional sword.
