Scarlet Sunrise Jin 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:
The Scarlet Sunrise Jin Jian features a scabbard with ornate brass ornaments and a scarlet red wooden handle, creating a beautiful contrast between red and gold.
This exquisitely beautiful and elegant Jin Jian is ideal for collectors and practitioners with refined aesthetic taste.
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 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.
