Hanwei Qi Jian – A Rare Masterpiece of Ancient Craftsmanship

Experience the elegance and power of the Hanwei Qi Jian, a stunning recreation of one of China’s most legendary sword designs.

Now a rare and sought-after collector’s piece, the Qi Jian is a symbol of precision, durability, and cultural heritage.

Exceptional Craftsmanship – One-Piece Forging Technique

At the heart of the Hanwei Qi Jian lies an extraordinary forging process. The entire sword—blade, guard, and pommel—is meticulously crafted from a single billet of high-carbon steel, a technique rarely seen in modern sword-making. This one-piece construction ensures superior strength, perfect balance, and an unmistakable ringing tone when struck—a feature revered in ancient Chinese lore.

A Collector’s Rarity

Discontinued and no longer in production, the Hanwei Qi Jian has become a rare treasure in the world of fine sword collecting. Its scarcity makes it highly desirable among enthusiasts, with only a limited number available on the secondary market. Whether you’re an avid collector or a martial arts practitioner, owning the Qi Jian means possessing a piece of craftsmanship that is as exclusive as it is beautiful.

Description

Hanwei Qi Jian Sword

A rare opportunity to own this sword is now available.

The Hanwei Qi Jian, crafted by renowned swordsmith Paul Chen, is a modern re-creation of an ancient Chinese sword design, exemplifying exceptional craftsmanship and historical significance.​

Design and Construction:
This sword is meticulously forged from a single billet of steel, extending seamlessly from the pommel to the tip. This one-piece forging technique not only ensures unparalleled strength and balance but also allows the sword to emit a clear, bell-like tone when struck—a characteristic celebrated in Chinese folklore. ​

Historical Significance:
With Paul Chen’s Hanwei sword forge now permanently (as of December 2024), this sword was originally a limited edition piece of craftsmanship. The Hanwei Qi Jian ceased production around 2010, making this very popular sword, very hard to come by indeed. The Qi Jian derives its name from the Qi nation, one of the warring states that eventually unified into modern China. According to legend, Feng-Xuan, a notable figure from the Qi people, possessed a similar one-piece sword and would use its resonant quality to accompany his singing. ​
