A two-handed jian is not something you see every day, and these two are remarkably different from any longsword or other European sword I've handled so far. Way lighter than you would expect ( kg / 39 oz) and thereby extremely nimble, they are basically trading cutting power for agility. The long blades and especially long handles provide extra reach and allow for a variety of different grips, with the hands either very far apart or closer together. They are quite flexible (too much so by my standards) due to the thin blades. Definitely better for light cutting... I wouldn't want to do armor tests with these, or even strong cuts against a ZGB zombie head. They are impressively well shaped and aesthetically appealing. Flawless fit & finish, beautiful pattern weld, and comfortable, effective handles. With good edge alignment they cut tatami mats cleanly. Plenty of value for the price in my opinion. https://
