The Jade
Lion Jim Sword is a self defense civilian Wen Jian
that is known as Scholar’s Sword, with a little flair other than the practical
versions like Gim Sword specially made for the battlefield. This is a double
bladed Chinese sword that is forging of swords began during the Han Dynasty and
ultimately at some point during the Three Kingdoms period, the sword began
being forged from steel.
Gim Sword |
Cold Steel's battle worthy Gim (Wu Jian) is for
serious collectors and practitioners of Chinese Martial Arts and amongst the
most expensive in samurai swords.
This Jade sword series typically draws upon the same
protective reputation, combining ceremonial, "dress" styling with
"battle ready" performances. This also makes appropriate sense for the
collectors specifically as well as martial artists in general. So you can say
it is good for functional as well as decorative purposes.
