Hi Was planning on getting a Han dynasty Jian sometime soon, but I’m curious as to how the tang is constructed on modern Han Jians since there is no visible nut or peening on the pommel, I have seen some antiquates in a book that has the pommel held on with a metal pin (see picture below), so are modern Han swords made the same way? I’m guessing that modern Han swords have a screw on pommel, but thats just a guess. So if anyone knows or have any pictures, links or have dissembled a Han Jian I would be very interested to know how the tang is constructed.  |

i would say contact garrett and ask him. also if you want a decent han that you can even get customized for a fair price that is cut worthy... order it from him at www.jin-shi.com |

I have Jin-Shi Han dynasty jian, not sure if the tang is historically constructed as the picture above. At least from the external view there is no nut or peened tang:  As Sitre suggests, talking to Garrett at Jin-Shi might help. |

I don't know about the actual Han Jian of ancient times, but modern Han Jian reproductions seem to have the nut construction. You can't see it because it's underneath the circular pommel that's used, but if you take it off, there it is.

Swordsage, does your jin shi Han jian use the nut construction? I though the nut construction is not very safe to swing with?

There's been a good bit of discussion about the various techniques: pommel nut, peened tang, screw on pommel, glue on pommel.
With the exception of the glue on, they're all just fine to use if done right. And all equally dangerous if done wrong. Glue is just never a good idea.

So, how tough are the han jians? I've been researching about this topic for some time now but still havn't found much info on them. Will they be able to withstand double roll tatami mat?

From anyone that makes a tough han jian, including the ones from Garret. |

From anyone that makes a tough han jian, including the ones from Garret. I don't see why they shouldn't be.  Though Garret can probably do a much better job at answering your questions than I.  |
