I've been wanting a unique Chinese dual fullered sword for a while but haven't had much luck outside of questionable ebay pages and swordnarmory.com. Does anyone have any experience shopping for swords like this? Any makers I should be looking for? I liked what I saw of the pattern forged blades on swordnarmory, but I like to pair function with visual aesthetic so I'll take a plain blade with a good temper if it's better than anything else on offer.

Hi! What do you mean by a double fullered sword? Do you mean a jian or a dao?

This was the style of blade I was looking for. So, you're after a Han Jian with two fullers!
Yes Lemuel, a twin fullered Euro would look cool, I'm guessing it would be more suited to a wider cut oriented blade, the later type XVIII's get a bit narrow at the tip!

How's the handle on that sino sword? Hollow tube? I'd prefer a single "ring" on the grip myself, but it looks good, T10 - folded and DH like everyone I'd like to see whats under that grip
