Cold Steel – CS88G – Gim Sword – Fixed Blade Knife – 1060 HC Satin – Redwood – Brown

Description

The Cold Steel CS88G Gim Sword is a striking modern reproduction of a traditional Chinese straight sword, also known as the jian or gim. Crafted with historical accuracy and modern durability in mind, this sword is designed for collectors, martial artists, and historical weaponry enthusiasts who demand both aesthetic appeal and reliable construction. This full-sized weapon features a 30-inch blade forged from 1060 high carbon steel—a favored choice for functional swords due to its excellent edge retention, hardness, and resilience to impact. The blade is finished in a smooth satin polish that highlights the steel’s natural sheen while offering some resistance to minor corrosion. The double-edged, straight profile makes it ideal for thrusting and slashing maneuvers, true to the authentic gim design. The handle is constructed from rich redwood, offering a warm, organic grip that balances beautifully with the blade. Brass fittings at the guard and pommel not only enhance the sword’s traditional look but also reinforce its structural integrity. The sword comes complete with a matching wood scabbard that features a brass throat and tip, adding to both its aesthetic presentation and protective function. Whether you’re a practitioner of Chinese martial arts or a collector of historically-inspired blades, the CS88G delivers on performance, presence, and historical reverence.
