Ronin Elite Wind Steel Chinese Jian

I like this sword. The only problem I had with this sword is that its handle shakes a little when i wave the sword. I have to unwrap it and fix it up myself. Other than that, is it a beautifully built sword. I saw some demos that a guy struck a metal trash can with this sword. I am not sure that is the right thing to do. This sword is beautiful and deserves a good care and appreciation from its owner.

A lot of Jians are a little cheaper than this one, but I'm under the impression that this one is worth it. The wind steel doesn't show up in the pictures too well at least compared to real life, you really have to see it in person to fully appreciate it. The sheath is a little heavy, but the quality and the way it matches the sword are amazing. The sword bag is also a thing of beauty, red with gold and dark grey patterns. The sword is balanced, controllable and elegant yet quite powerful, especially compared to the one-handed style Jians. Overall I'd say that while it is expensive compared to some, it is definitely a nice sword.
