Jian Sword

The Jian is a double-edged Chinese sword with a double edge. It's the original Chinese sword, preceding its counterpart, the Dao sword. In fact, the Jian has been used for as long as 2500 years. It is referred to as "The Gentleman of Weapons" in traditional Chinese literature.

Chinese Jian were originally akin to bronze double-edged daggers of varied lengths. However, by approximately 500 BC, they had reached their contemporary lengths of around 18 to 31 inches.
