Jade Lion Sword Gym 88RLG

Cold Steels 88RLG is a Jade Lion Gim sword that pays homage to the 1800-year-old Chinese tradition of having the mighty lion as a symbol of protection. The lion was highly valued for its bravery, agility and loyalty, which is why its image was used in guardian statues that protected the homes of wealthy people, nobles and Chinese emperors.

This sword has been meticulously handcrafted using high-quality Damascus steel, ensuring that it not only looks elegant but is also sharp and durable. The lion motif has been carried over into the design of the comb element and pommel, which are made from silver. The handle has been wrapped in a green jade cord making it comfortable to the touch. The scabbard, made from rosewood, is filled with a ray skin (Samé) and is ideal for storage when not in use.

The Gim Lion is ideal for both collectors and those who practice Chinese martial arts. It is a scholar's sword for self-defense, a little more elegant than the battle swords used on the battlefield, such as the Cold Steel Gim Sword. The Gim Lion has been subjected to internal testing to prove its strength and cutting ability. It has been able to cut through bamboo sticks up to 10 cm thick in one blow.

This sword has a total length of approximately 92 cm, with a blade of 76.2 cm and a thickness of 6.4 mm. The handle has a length of approximately 15.8 cm and is covered with Roche leather with jade-green Parier and Knauf wire wound with nickel silver. The total weight of the sword is around 900 g.

In short, the Cold Steel 88RLG Jade Lion Gim is a stunningly designed sword that is perfect for collectors and Chinese martial arts enthusiasts alike. This sword is not only beautiful, but also sharp and durable thanks to its blade made from high-quality Damascus steel. It also comes with a rosewood and ray skin (same) scabbard, and has been subjected to rigorous testing to ensure its strength and durability.
