Chinese Jian Sword: The Art of the Double-Edged Blade

Welcome to our dedicated collection of the Chinese Jian Sword, often revered as the “Sword of the Gentleman” or the “King of a Hundred Weapons.” Unlike its single-edged counterpart, the Dao, the Jian is a symbol of precision, discipline, and martial arts philosophy. With its straight, double-edged blade, it is designed for both thrusting and cutting, embodying a balance of power and elegance that has captivated warriors, scholars, and collectors for millennia.

Our collection showcases the incredible evolution of the Jian, from the ancient ritualistic pieces to the practical and functional tools of warriors. Each piece is a testament to centuries of refinement in metallurgy and craftsmanship across different eras.
