There are two basic
types of straight bladed
swords used in China.
One is fairly long and
heavy known as the Wu
Jian or "Martial Sword".
The other is
substantially lighter
and called a Wen Jian or
"Scholar's Sword" and
was primarily carried
for personal self
defense.
After studying books and
video tapes on the
history and use of both
weapons, we have decided
to make our own battle
worthy Gim (Wu Jian) for
serious collectors and
practitioners of Chinese
Martial Arts.
The blade of our Wu Jian
is made out of 1055
Carbon steel and
measures 30 in. long by
1.5 in. wide. For
cutting and slashing,
both edges are quite
sharp and they terminate in a strong,
useful point for
stabbing. The
traditionally styled
guard and pommel are
cast out of thick sturdy
brass and fit snugly on
a stout Rosewood handle
that is both highly
decorative as well as
functional.
The Gim Sword comes with
an excellent wood
scabbard with brass
throat, chape and sword
rings and can be worn
suspended from the belt
or slung over the
shoulder.
Features a 30.00 in. 1055 carbon steel blade and a 7.25 in. cord wrapped handle. Comes complete with a hardwood scabbard with brass fittings.
