Chinese Iron Sword, Based

Two rings on the grip, a disc on top, and a blade that has kept its line for over two thousand years.

This sword comes from China and dates to 475 – 221 BCE, the Warring States period. It is iron. The Warring States era was one of near constant conflict between rival kingdoms, and the straight double-edged sword is generally associated with the officers and nobles of that age. The blade is faceted along its length and tapers evenly to a point, with a short guard at its base. The round grip carries two raised rings and ends in a disc pommel. It stands 25 inches high.

Built for an argument, and still dressed for one.
