33 Inch Chinese Twin Hook Sword Review
The 33 inch Chinese Twin Hook Sword is the most exotic looking of a long line of traditional Chinese- made swords that date back thousands of years. The Chinese began fashioning swords made from stone and then bronze, which have been found in many tombs of ancient kings from the Zhou Dynasty, about 1,000 B.C.
The Chinese were the first to develop sword-making practices that also were highly copied by other cultures as evident in the development of the Japanese sword-making from 793 to 1185 A.D. The Chinese began creating iron alloys for sword-making around 500 B.C. creating export weapons that were traded throughout the Far East.
Steel Sword-Making Techniques Developed
The Chinese were the first culture to discover sword-making techniques blending two different strands of steel with separate carbon elements to produce an exceptional hard compound that also possessed great resiliency.
This became the very foundation for creation of Chinese swords that eventually include manufacture of a weapon such as the 33 Inch Chinese Twin Hook Sword. To accomplish the creation of exquisitely fine and effective blade weaponry, the Chinese employed three different methods that included Twist Core, Steel Wrapping (Baogang) and Steel Inserting (Qiangang).
Culturally Popular Choice
As far as Western popularity goes, the Chinese Hook Sword has gained the most. This is due, in part, to its unique appearance and specific wielding movements that make its “live” usage appealing to viewing audiences. Although not a specific “ancient” Chinese blade weapon, the hook sword traces its origin back to the late 1700s where it became popularized through its adaption into several Northern Chinese schools of martial arts training including that of the Shaolin. Several fictional accounts of Shaolin combat practices have been created in recent times including the popular television series, Kung Fu, starring David Carradine.
Two Training Forms
All weapons training in martial arts has a two-fold purpose, the first being actual combat use and the second as a display of grace and finesse. The combat approach displays exceptional hard-hitting techniques while the second produces the visually exciting maneuvers that are typically seen in many of today’s modern martial arts productions.
The Shaolin called the weapon a “tiger” hook sword or a qian kun ri yue dao which translates into the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon sword. A Hook Sword is considered a very dangerous weapon due to the number of blades projecting from a variety of directions and should never be wielded by anyone without proper professional training.
Unique Look
The actual construction of any 33 Inch Chinese Hook Sword is borrowed from several sources. The blade is similar to jian style. However, it is usually much thicker. The hook is placed at the tip of the sword where it is well situated for both blocking and grappling enemies but also looks appealing hanging above the fireplace as well.
Since these are often used as pairs, consider obtaining this pair to display in your home in conjunction with many other Oriental weapons you may encounter worthy for you collection. This product is made from black stainless steel and includes a cord-wrapped handle.
