Dragon King - Taotie Jian longsword
Add a legendary blade to your collection with the Dragon King - Taotie Jian longsword.
Rooted deeply in Chinese culture going back to the Neolithic age and first finding expression during the Shang and Zhou dynasties as a monster mask on bronze ritual vessels, the legend of the taotie still manifests in modern cutlery on eating utensils and plates. Punished by the gods for his overindulgence, as a warning to others the gods took away the body and jaw of TheTaotie (gluttonous monster) so all he could do was eat constantly, leaving nothing but a head and gaping mouth. The artisans of Dragon King conceived this new take on this ancient warning in the form of the Taotie Jian. The classic zoomorphic head motif is featured embossed on the pommel and the guard.
The 37 3/4" blade's 7" ricasso (3/8" thick at base) reinforces the overall strength for powerful thrusts and blocks. The 12 1/2" wood core handle is pristinely thin cord wrapped which allows for an easy grip for a 51 1/2" long sword. A black lacquered scabbard with matching accents secures the sword.
This sword is a traditional, hand-forged blade inspired by traditional Chinese Jian design, created for collectors with an appreciation for sword craftsmanship.
Forged from Damascus Steel it combines authentic construction with display-quality presentation.
