The Regal Soaring Sky Han Jian

Soaring Sky has the beautiful eight sided cross-section inherited from Chu Jian with the long and slender profile of a classic Han Jian. Eight sided Han Jian is rare and usually find in tombs of royal family members and senior officials. The hilt has a rhomboid cross section profile for accurate edge alignment.
