Blade & geometry
A central ridge controls the section of the double-edged blade. The point is refined by hand after the primary planes are established.
The StoryMaterial first.
Material first.
Purpose throughout.
This model studies the proportion and authority of late-imperial presentation swords without claiming to reproduce a single historical object. The workshop adapts length, fittings and surface finish to the collector’s display context.
The Pixiu Imperial Jian uses a long, double-edged profile with a central ridge, dark ebony furniture and sculpted copper mounts. Its mass and balance are specified for ceremonial handling and display rather than repetitive cutting practice.
