Offering a jian from Zhi Swords I picked up second hand a while ago (bills, bills, bills). The blade is folded steel and the wrappings all seem to be black nylon cord. I think the fittings are cast brass. The wooden scabbard fits tight and there is a very small crack at the mouth. The blade has a strong diamond cross section and distal taper. It has very thin cutting edges but it's not really "sharp". Will ship with black cotton sword bag. I'm asking $200US + shipping. PM if interested. Thanks for looking, guys.
