The real sword of Cao Cao? A look at the Soaring Sky Han Jian by LK Chen

[@comradestannis]

Cao Cao is literally called the "Hero of Chaos." You are correct to say that he was considered a hero and, in a way, still is.

What a beautiful looking blade

[@hiddendragontaichi]

It is a beautiful blade. Working through the Chen Jian form with it, it does seem a touch long for that, but I'm not nearly as fluid as you.

[@SifuKuttel]

It is quite a long blade, I've noticed that forms might need some adjustments to work around the length. With that said, I'm still impressed with the commanding way it moves.

Beautiful piece , thank you Sifu!

How does it compare to the Flying Phoenix, being of very similar proportions?

[@SifuKuttel]

Although they are similar proportions, much is different between the two. The Soaring Sky is already a bit longer and heavier, but the blade shape changes the moving weight as well so it has a little more chopping power. The Flying Phoenix is very well refined, and personally, I prefer it of the two. I find it to be more agile, and the blade cross section makes it snap through targets even without the added weight. I have seen a few people that prefer the Soaring Sky, but I find that the Flying Phoenix moves much better and with more control.

@@SifuKuttel Thanks for your detailed answer!

[@Cloudfencer]

Have you experienced the grip biting into your hand when performing quick maneuvers? The wrap looks very grippy

[@SifuKuttel]

Actually no issues with the grip, it is quite grippy and has some give to it, but not too much to cause blisters.

[@Guven9000]

Yes, it’s really beautiful also 415$ so it’s too hard! But thank you Sifu for sharing !

[@SifuKuttel]

Yes, it is an investment sword.

[@Guven9000]

@@SifuKuttel Yes, you are right.
