Description
This provides a compelling contrast to the elegant jade green color of the cord wrapped handles and matching rosewood scabbards that are covered in highly polished samé (ray skin) that’s dyed to match the handles. The most attention grabbing feature, however, are the blades themselves. Forged by hand and expertly tempered from our finest Damascus steel, their distinctively subtle swirl pattern bespeaks the elegant beauty of fine craftsmanship combined with the incomparable strength of Damascus steel. JADE LION GIM The Lion Gim is a civilian self-defense Wen Jian (Scholar’s Sword), with a little more panache than the practical versions (like the 88G) that were made for the battlefield. In our tests it severed and pierced 4″ bamboo poles with a single cut or thrust. Weight: 31.7 oz. Blade Thickness: 1/4″ Blade Length: 30″ Steel: Damascus Handle: 6 1/4″ Overall: 36 1/4″ Polished Sameé (Ray Skin) Scabbard w/ Nickle-Silver Fittings.
