One of the Lightest & Fanciest Swords... Is it Good?
This is the White Serpent by LK Chen, a reproduction of a Ming Dynasty jian (double-edged Chinese sword). Quite a fancy design, with beautiful ornamentation and elegant profile.
Let’s see how well made it is, of course complete with cutting test on soaked tatami mats and “armored“ water bottles (wrapped in thick leather). In this review I’ll tell you my opinion of the fit & finish, handling, and practical performance.
