Awesome review! I love how historical LK Chen makes his swords to be. Regular Chinese makers only give an...impressionist take on Chinese swords, and many comtemporary so-called Han jian have impractically cylindrical grips and not enough profile taper. The research LK Chen did on historical originals is peerless. It's often stunning how efficient these Han Dynasty swords are with steel usage. Slender and lightweight swords that pack a punch!
Good review. I only own one of theirs (Royal Arsenal Dao) but will definitely be buying more in the future. Very much enjoyed tour review style. Threw in some history, facts, and showed all the important parts of the sword. Very well done. How I have not found your channel before is beyond me.
Yes its light, but.. definitely not wobbly at all, itll flex under pressure but its probably stiffer than most swords of a similar legngth kus its made for stabbing armor so thin profile but its got a pretty thick blade (7mm at hilt to 3.5 ish by the tip)

Thanks for the great review! I've been eyeing these for a while.
Your very welcome!! I say go for it! It just stinks that they recently have gone up in price. But I guess many things have. Thanks for watching.
This may be my next purchase to practice my 2 handed sword form since I've practice with the Roaring Dragon Chu Jian for 4 years
The lightness and wobbly blade lacks cutting power however. This shows a lot in reviews during test cut videos
