Very soon I will have multiple simultaneous ji projects going on.

I am still collecting the requisite materials, but things seem to be coming together nicely. I have multiple LK Chen Han ji variations I am working on, and an older style bronze/copper alloy ji as well.

Ka-Kit Cheung (KK) has very generously helped facilitate this endeavor, and I will do me best to come up with a series of ji in different configurations worthy such kindness.

I will provide more details once I am able to start working in earnest, but I must say that this project(s) makes me very excited. The ge and ji are right at the top of my list of favorite polearms. The Han Ji offered by LK Chen are more agile and dynamic than I expected them to be.

My current plans include:

1.: LK Chen Han ji (Battalion/short version) mounted on a 7-8 foot (2.33-2.67 meters) hickory haft, with an oval cross-section. Blue and red geometric painting scheme, cord-wrapped leather at transition of pommel cap to haft (risers and dye color TBD). Other decorative elements TBD.

2.: LK Chen Han ji (Combat/long version) mounted on a hickory haft of around 6 feet (1.9 meters), with a rectangular cross-section. The planned painting scheme will include a blue background with stylized horse and cloud (and possibly also lightning) elements of red, white, and gold. A cord-wrapped leather transition at the junction point between the pommel cap and haft (risers and dye color TBD). Other decorative elements may include horse hair tassels near the weapon's head.

3.: LK Chen Han ji (Combat/long version) mounted on....

trooperwill: I have just been appointed conservator and Guardian for Dave Kelly and have no experience or knowledge of swords. I would appreciate any assistance that folks who know Dave or have visited with him and seen his collection could give me. need appraisal Nov 28, 2024 0:05:16 GMT

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

choseychas: Huh. Is there no fix on our side then? Or is it that you need to contact an admin since the auto system is down? Nov 18, 2024 3:58:50 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT

txhighlander: Boston might be my fav. So much history, and clean! and great food. New York was cool for a day to see iconic landmarks Nov 7, 2024 17:00:22 GMT
