Safe Blunted Edge With Rolled Tip

Traditionally Chinese Martial Artists have used wooden "wasters" during sparring practice to inform their training and perfect their technique. While these wasters are generally safe, they have serious limitations for learning how swords actually behave during sparring. Hanwei's Sparring Jian have been designed by Scott Rodell to handle as closely as possible to sharp jian while providing rounded edges and safe flex during a thrust. Using the same blade steel, advanced heat treatment regimen and handle fittings as the Rodell designed Hanwei Cutting Jian students can practice forms, sparring and cutting all with the same design. Through these three disciplines the student can take a holistic approach to their jianfa training; what works in forms must work in sparring must work in cutting must work in forms, etc...

"The Sparring Jian is beautiful. It has a good weight. The only thing I didn't expect was that the end of the blade seems rolled for protection. I thought it would be a normal blade. Also i thought it came with a scabbard "

"I am happy with the sparring jian. The binding on the grip peeled a bit - it appears to be pulling up from glue."
