Qi Jian

QUESTION: I am seriously looking at buying this sword, I tried searching the forum but didn't find anything related to the Qi Jian and the search function wasn't really working for this sword.

I want to know if anyone has bought this sword and seriously used it for cutting or if it is just a display piece or what some of the general comments about this sword are.

Thank you,

Jason

ANSWER: Hi Jason,

It is a very attractive looking sword and definitely sturdy. However, it isn't particualrly sharp - so if keeness of edge is something you are looking for, you may need to sharpen it yourself or look elsewhere...

Hope this helps.

- Paul

I'm not sure what sword you are talking about, but if it similar in design to the Cold Steel Gim reviewed under the tap 'chinese swords' GET THE GIM INSTEAD! It is one of Paul's top 3 favorite swords and #1 on my 'To Get List'. The Gim swords performance is truly phenomenal...check it out, you will absulutely love the results.

May your Blades stay forever sharp,

Hello Paul,

thank you for the quick feedback, if I choose to sharpen the sword do you think that it will be able to cut through a lot of things or do you think that will merely weaken the blade?

Also I was thinking since it is one piece of metal, how to you prevent rust on the guard and the hilt?

Thanks for your feedback!

Jason
