Ultimate Jian - Custom Series - Blunt Edge
Special Order: This is a sold-out model. When you order it here we will have the forge remake this model and ship it directly to your door - the wait time is currently 3-5 months. The price, while expensive, is still a fraction of the cost to get this high-quality sword made anywhere else (the next cheapest forge we can find is over 2x as much and based in India). Your order will include shipping to your door, but not any VAT/Border/Import taxes.
This straight sword was made for a client that wanted a high-quality battle-ready Jian (Gin, Tai Chi, Straight) sword. The prototyping and final production took almost 2 years to complete. If you use or want a high-quality Jian, then grab one of these while we are still offering them.
A comment from the customer we produced this saber for: "... the new straight sword is absolutely fantastic. I don't have enough superlatives to describe it. The weight is good, the balance is perfect! I love it! We have a huge hit on our hands!" These are arguably the best Jian on the market today.
Please note the pictures might show a sharp edge, but this listing is for the blunt version.
