Goujian Jian Sword: Folded 1060 Damascus Steel Blade

$449.00$468.00

A Goujian Jian sword: hand-forged with a 1060 Folded Steel Blade

  • Goujian Jian blade made of folded 1060 steel, heat-treated and oil-quenched. There are always two bamboo mekugi (pegs) holding the handle together.
  • Brass handle guard and fittings holding the blade, handle and tsuka together.
  • For the best sheathing and handling, great swords always need a good sheath and handle. This sword has a Lapacho Wood Saya and Tsuka-Ito.

This sword has a total sword length of 35.4″ ~ 90cm. Its blade measures 25.2″ ~ 64cm, its handle 8.3″ ~ 21cm, and its blade width is of 1.8″ ~ 4.5cm.

We make every blade to order, using traditional techniques passed down through generations.

This is all to ensure top quality for you. No two pieces are alike – so unique designs are forged and assembled specifically for you. Whether it be cutting ability or a piece of art for the house… We’ve got something perfect for you at Swords For Sale.

Do you want a Jian sword like this one, but would like to its components? Contact us and tell us which components you’d like to change. Talking about time… here’s what will happen right after you order:

Step 1, Real Swords For Sale, Japanese SabersWe hand-forge and perfect your sword

Your order will start processing 24 hours after you place it. This is a time we leave for any changes you’d like to make. A couple of days later, our master swordsmith starts to forge your sword’s blade. About a week later, our togishi (blade polisher and sharpener) takes charge to finish the blade.

It’s then time to assemble the sword. For most custom swords (in 85% of cases) we have blades, fittings, and other components ready to go. In these cases, the full assembly of the sword takes from one to two weeks. For more complex swords (in 15% of cases), it can take us around three-four weeks, up to at most six to have it assembled.

Step 2, Real Swords For Sale, Japanese SabersWe send you pictures of your jian sword for approval

Once the sword is ready and assembled, we take its pictures. We always do many angles to make sure everything is exactly as you ordered.

We send you these pictures by email. Your custom jian isn’t shipped until we get your full approval for the sword’s looks. There are big-size pictures taken from the front, from the side, and the top… And also close-ups of most angles.

Step 3, Real Swords For Sale, Japanese SabersWe ship your custom-made jian sword

Once you approve the pictures, we send your sword by either our Expedited or our Express Service. This ensures speedy delivery times.

  • Expedited hipping is Available in Australia, Canada, and the United States of America | 49.95$, takes from two to five weeks to arrive
  • Express Shipping is Available Worldwide | 74.95$ with UPS or FedEx, takes from three days to a week and a half to arrive

Please note that you can have an import tax to pay depending on your location. You must take into account since we cannot pay it for you and is not our responsibility. In most cases, it ranges from 10 to 40$ depending on your country and the price of your sword.

Our master forgers take their time to make sure each sword’s blade has just enough detail…

Whether you choose a simple 1060 High Carbon blade, or want a more complex blade, like a Folded or Clay-Tempered one… Or perhaps even a Kobuse blade… Our swordsmith can create pretty much any design you wish for.

Then our assemblers take care of creating the best sword possible with the remaining pieces… like the blade collar and spacers, the handle guard and its fittings, and the scabbard.

If you look closely at our swords’ adornments, every piece looks as though it belongs right where its meant… On top quality blades, such as these only found in storybooks or movies about medieval China. And yet, they exist for a fraction of the price, here and now.
