1-Swords have a long history in China. Bronze swords have been traced back to the bronze daggers of the Shang dynasty. Bronze long swords suddenly appeared during the mid-third century BC. Later swords were made of iron or steel. These metals were wrought, never cast. Swords commonly reached a length of 70–100 cm, although longer swords have been found.Chinese iron swords were used in Japan from the third to sixth century AD, but were replaced with Korean and native Japanese swords by the middle of the Heian era.

2-The Chinese classify all swords into two types, jian (剑) and dao (刀). Jians are dual-edged while daos are single-edged.

3-Blade: The blade of  the sword has been hand forged using the ancient method of sword  making. Full hand forged, hand polished and hand sharpened.

4-The blade was made of folded steel. AISI 1060 High Carbon Steel are  folded 10 times creating 1024 layers for superior strength and  flexibility. the visible tenuous undulating grain on the blade was  resulted from folded repeatedly during forging. the blade has long  Hi (blood groove) on each side, This not only allows for a lighter  blade and audible feedback when swung. but also can balance the  blade to achieve optimal performance.

5-Saya: The saya  (sheath) of the sword is hard wooden.
