Ming & Qing Sword:

One of the most beautiful Chinese swords you will ever encounter.
Created in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it has both Chinese and European characteristics and aesthetics.
It is all about the discreet harmony present in its design.

The Chinese Republic period was a time when martial arts training gradually shifted from battlefield applications to focus on the development of the practitioner. Many of the martial arts systems we know today originated from this prolific period. The Jians of the Republican period inherited the style of the Ming and Qing Jians while incorporating features of European swords such as the ricasso and center fuller. They were generally a little longer than the Qing Jian.

Snow Peak has a cream vegetable leather scabbard, adorned with 2 stainless steel rings and stitched on one side along its entire length.
Its distinctive handle with an ace of spades guard is wrapped in genuine white stingray skin for a good grip.

It features a beautiful double-edged blade characteristic of the Jian, designed to cut and thrust. The two cutting edges are nearly parallel to each other, with a subtle taper, and end in an almond-shaped tip.
A distinctive central gutter runs along the spine of the blade.

Snow Peak is the embodiment of 2000 years of evolution of the Jian into the form we are familiar with today.
A perfect gift for someone who has a passion for swords.
This sword comes to you with its storage case and a damask cover with cord closure, so you can preserve it for years.
