Gale Wind Ming Jian
LK Chen Forge:
This sword was forged by LK Chen, a forge that specializes in the recreation of ancient Chinese weapons featuring authentic dimensions, weight, balance and handling.
LK Chen weapons are all designed for cutting purpose. You can train cutting with rice straw mats or bamboo targets.
The Gale Wind sword:
This sword was designed identically to an original Ming Dynasty sword.
The blade is made of Damascus steel (laminated steel) in 1060 Carbon steel (Medium / High carbon steel) reinforced with tungsten-vanadium T8 (anti-rust property). The medium carbon steel is a good compromise between the rigidity and flexibility of the blade. The blade does not break easily but still has sufficient hardness for cutting.
The pommel is attached by threaded nuts instead of traditional hammering methods, to allow the owner to adjust the handle himself as it expands or contracts with seasonal changes in temperature and humidity.
The fitting, finishing and final assembly of the sword is meticulously done by the experienced master craftsmen of LK Chen Forge. It takes a professional craftsman a full day to assemble a sword of this type with precision.
