The traditional perception of the Taiji sword becomes very apparent
in the Qing Sword. The last of the Chinese Dynasties, the Qing (Ching) Dynasty
was overthrown by rebellion as late as 1911, by which time the Taiji sword
had completed its evolution into the “modern” form. The sword is
crafted around a beautifully pattern-welded K120C blade with a flattened diamond
section. The guard and pommel are constructed of gilded steel featuring a
flying bat design, which in Chinese ideology symbolizes luck.
The scabbard decorations
are in gilded brass and the intricate knot-work of the tassel is art in its
own right.
Recreated by the craftsmen
of CAS Hanwei from the swords of the Lords of the great dynasties, these Chinese
Gongfu swords represent the pinnacle of the sword maker’s art, vividly
illustrating the skills and creativity of the smiths of Imperial China..
