The battle-tough blade is embellished with a cast brass guard and pommel which are decoratively accented with an intricate relief pattern. The guard and pommel are fitted to an attractive hardwood handle covered with tightly braided cord. More information...

Two Handed Gim Chinese Sword
This type of sword was usually reserved for only the strongest warriors in ancient China, as some specimens weighed over 6 pounds! The long, heavy blade cut a wide swath and thus could smash through the defenses of enemy soldiers who were armed with shorter and lighter weapons. It was a natural for defending tight spaces like gates and passage ways where there was room.
A wooden scabbard completes the package. It is fitted with decorative brass fittings similar in style to the guard and pommel on the sword.
