Adam Hsu Two Handed Sword/Jian, CAS Hanwei, SH2278

Description

HSU JIAN (SH2278 ) CAS HANWEI
Functionality, weight and balance are paramount considerations in Sifu Hsu’s designs, while Hanwei’s quality and workmanship give the swords a graceful and pleasing appearance.
The blades are crafted in high-carbon spring steel and have a pronounced center ridge and distal taper, producing exactly the right degree of stiffness and a very audible hiss in the cutting stroke. This Hsu 2-Handed Jian features a 36" blade in fiberglass grip and scabbard. Weighing slightly less than 2 lbs. this long sword handles beautifully. The Ming-style steel guards have an embossed Dragon symbol, while the open-ended pommels facilitate the fitting of a tassel. A unique feature is the “duck-bill lock” in the bottom of the scabbard that securely holds the sword in place.
