Striking Eagle Chu Jian

Striking Eagle is the longest (148 cm - 4' 10.26") double handed Chu Jian we craft. This is a sword for the sword master and appeals to discerning sword collectors looking to add one of the longest Chinese sword ever forged to their collection. Striking Eagle is model after the design of 2,000+ year old Chu double hand swords excavated during the 1950-1980 from tombs dating back 315 - 221 BC of the ancient Kingdom of Chu.  We adopt the length of the longest Jian ever excavated in China, discovered in 1983 from the tomb of King Zhao Mo (D. 122 BC). 

The blade had a subtle amalgamation of flexibility and rigidity.
