Chinese Han Jian Sword Review and Unboxing

[@JoyAndFun]

Oh, I should mention, since the hilt handle is completely round, I grip higher on the handle so I have a few fingers up on the sword guard to feel where the edge is for alignment.

[@emildeleon5000]

I wonder what martial method do you practice? great video.

[@狂刀三浪-r2j]

Will the handle wrap come loose after use? How do you fix that?

[@acdragonrider]

Never got the hype of Katanas. These are cooler.

[@JohnnyG4-o6k]

Why not both?

[@salvyballacc]

Shhhh. let people sleep on it. The last thing you want is for somebody to take something so beautiful and Hype it up and completely ruin it for everyone else. 🤫🤫🤫🤫 These are the swords Blade used in he's movies or Sword I should say. Also it's the Space Sword Sokka used in Avatar. 😎

[@larkharbeson3443]

Yes exactly

[@Kyle-fp5lm]

@@salvyballacc I'd say thanks to Avatar is how I found out about this particular type. Would be cool to see an actual black blade version.

That's a really beautiful sword. Thank you for sharing this review!

Nice sword. I've seen those on the site before. Cool to finally see a video of one. Thanks.

Looks like Sokka’s Space Sword

[@notsans9995]

Sokka's sword is basically this, its a han dynasty style Jian, which is a doubled edged straight sword from ancient china.

[@Intranetusa]

I've read that a lot of Han era type swords are not quite historically accurate because they are supposedly heavier than the actual swords of the Han Dynasty. They applied the thicker and wider blade profiles of the medieval Chinese dynasties (eg. Ming and Qing) to the longer designs of the earlier ancient swords that were supposed to be thinner and lighter. Does that apply to this design?

[@adenyang4398]

Although I’m not completely sure, this misconception may come from the fact that thicker bronze blades were used alongside slender steel blades during the Han era. At least by around the Sui period the thicker and wider Jian blade types seems to have become predominant, likely due to armor development and it providing better power.

[@jasonledyard404]

Unfortunately, the blades for sale these days are influenced by the cost of shipping and are often thinner, shorter and less wide.

[@charless3108]

You could check up lk Chen. He produces han Jian that match your description

[@Intranetusa]

@@charless3108 Yes, I actually had LK Chen Jians in mind when I wrote this comment. I was trying to compare LK Chen's sword dimensions and weight to that of this one.

[@zhengyunli800]

That brass ornament is for holding your sword on your waistband.

[@Jacob-iy1jx]

The sword is beautiful in everything, the only defect is the length of the blade, wielding it from the wrist vertically it must cover the ear. In my case, 30 "inches of blade are needed.

[@Full-Stack-Fernando]

Looks like sokkas space sword from ATLA

[@notsans9995]

It is, much of ATLA is based on Chinese history and folklore. Sokka's sword is based on a Han Dynasty era Jian. Jian is basically chinese for doubled edge straight sword. Sadly Han Jian are not very well represented in the modern day, you see chinese swords in anything its mostly Dao; large curved sabers from the later dynasties.

[@anojjayangana1241]

Ain't that somewhat similar to the goblin slayers' sword

[@defjulz]

Han jian are historical Chinese swords from the Han dynasty. I just looked up the goblin slayer sword and they are quite different. The goblin slayer sword is a short sword that is more similar to a Viking sword which is much wider than the jian. A Han jian is longer and thinner.

This is a imitation Han sword, not real, its stem is too small compared to the blade and the blade is too thick

[@maxtyson9035]

But in reality han dynasties never used folded steel. But the sword is very nice. Never knew people would combine Japanese steel making techniques with ancient Chinese sword. Nice👌

[@TheMofotart]

Actually before the great smiths of Japan made katanas by folding steel because of the impurities (slag) within the tamahagane (bloom steel) is a technique not unique to Japan. Just saying it could have been imported by Korea, or China. Even the clay tempering techniques that give the hamons are not Japanese only techniques.

[@maxtyson9035]

@@TheMofotart but steel was invented in India. It was the best steel. The technique is lost now. Folding steel in east asia was manufactured in Japan there is even a 12th century documents about it. Chinese steel swords were not so good and Japan used the same types of swords. But in battles the swords would often break. Hence a monk gave the idea of folding steel to Japan.
