Jian Short Sword - LARP Foam - 29 in
Price:
$64.00
The Jian Short Sword is a meticulously crafted replica inspired by the iconic Chinese sword design. Measuring 29.5 inches (75 cm) in length, this sword features a 24.4-inch (62 cm) straight blade with a fuller and rain-guard. The small, oval-shaped crossguard spans 3.5 inches (9 cm) wide, protecting the 5.1-inch (13 cm) handle, which is cast and painted to resemble realistic wood and metal carvings.
The Jian sword has been a revered weapon in China for over 2,500 years, earning the moniker "The Gentleman of Weapons." Famously wielded by the legendary Sun Jian, who defended the Empire of Ancient China, the Jian was the sword of choice for practitioners known as jianke. The addition of a fuller, or the groove running the length of the blade, was a design innovation that lightened the blade while enhancing its structural strength.
Features:
* Blade has a strong latex coating with a round fiberglass core
* Strong Kevlar core tip protection

* Handle is a polyurethane foam cast, offering greater detail and low maintenance
* Handle is highly durable, longer-lasting than latex, and less slippery than silicone-treated alternatives

* Handmade and hand-painted, ensuring each piece is unique
