The jian's usage in a duel is sometimes described as "death by a thousand cuts".
Make sure you handle your beautiful heirloom-worthy blade with utmost care!

It is beautiful, and I hope the patina will, like fine wine, only improve with age.

Wives and Knives... *sigh* 'nuff said.
Talk smooth and stay safe. Remember, she's right, but you keep the sword!

Congrats!

An outstanding example of modern craftsman's abilities, I am very impressed. The finished product is stunning.
I personally would love to see sharper images and if given the opportunity, speak with you at length about the ins and outs of the project, I think I want an heirloom piece too......

Thanks Gav!

I have a few 32mb files! But is really hard to photograph the detail of blade and the tightness of the grain etc.

Happy to discuss any aspects - PM me and I will give my phone numbers (as you are in Brizzy) and email details. If you ever get over to Perth you can check it out in person over a couple of middies.

Cheers

Jason

Jason,

Stunning piece...blend of traditional and contemporary look Very fine craftsmanship. It will be interesting to hear how it compares to your other commissioned piece you mention by the other smith.

So you are keeping secret the price tag from your wife...lol, I'm sure a lot of us can identify with that...or rather my wife avoids asking What does she think of your knew dandy?

Cheers mate,

My wife is on Holidays for another 3 weeks, so I have plenty of time to work out my excuses
