A sword design over 2000 years old! LK Chen Striking Eagle jian review - massive 42" blade

#sword #jian #history

My review of the LK Chen Striking Eagle, a sword that was loaned to me by LK Chen for the purposes of this review. This sword design takes inspiration from some of the oldest and longest historical swords ever recovered in China. It has a 42" blade and it's overall length is nearly 5 feet.
