Product information "Chinese Leaf Gim Sword, Cold Steel"
Chinese Leaf Gim sword from Cold Steel® - elegance and efficiency combined
The Chinese Leaf Gim Sword is a tribute to a traditional weapon of ancient China - an elegant yet functional sidearm for civilian use. This type of sword was carried by nobles and scholars who wanted to present themselves not only in style but also in defence. With its interpretation, Cold Steel® has created a sword that perfectly combines historical aesthetics with modern quality.
Light, manoeuvrable and suitable for battle
With a weight of only around 960 grams (including scabbard approx. 1.4 kg), this sword is surprisingly light and manoeuvrable, enabling fast and precise movements. The approx. 84.5 cm long blade is made of heat-treated carbon steel, which is known for its hardness and flexibility. This makes the Gim suitable for stabbing techniques as well as cutting and slashing movements - a versatile weapon for training, decoration or show fighting.
Balanced construction for stylish handling
The Chinese Leaf Gim can be wielded particularly smoothly with the fingers, wrist and forearm - similar to a western small sword. The excellent balance makes it ideal for flowing movements and precise techniques. This makes it not just a showpiece, but a fully-fledged sword for martial artists and collectors who value authenticity.
Fine materials and sophisticated design
The handle is made of high-quality rosewood, which is not only durable but also a real visual highlight. The matching sheath is also made of wood and fitted with stainless steel fittings. The crossguard, pommel and other metal elements resist corrosion thanks to stainless steel and harmoniously round off the classic Chinese design.
