I have this really nice two hand Jian that I want to see if anyone wants. Made from Damascus it is named the twin snake sword. I really don't want to sell it as I could never buy another, but I have my eyes on an up scale Dao. So....
This is in really good condition only used to display. In shipping, one tiger ear got broken off. It is a small thing, but of course it is there. A skilled craftsman could repair it. I am very picky over my swords, but it never bothered me. But I have it at a greatly reduced price to offset this. The sword is currently for sale on ebay for $2020 dollars.
I offer it at $950 delivered, by check or MO.
I do not wish to take it apart, it seems hard anyway, but the forge that makes it assures me that it is fully functional and has the tang made as part of the blade.
Mine is in a more sedate black ray skin finish instead of the more common green one.

•Sword maintenance of common sense：

Hand touched the sword (knife) body during use, should be avoided so as not to leave the sweat corroded surface. Other medium carbon steel, high carbon steel, pattern-welded steel (Damascus steel) .
