CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESUnleash the elegance and power of the Cold Steel Battle Gim—a masterwork of artistry and combat design. A gim (Cantonese) or jian (Mandarin) is a Chinese sword. Both names literally translateto “sword.” It was originally a gentleman's side arm, and was considered a civilian weapon. The Gim is meant to be a functional everyday sword that is easy to carry.
With a striking 30” blade crafted from premium Damascus steel, this sword exudes beauty. It is broader and heavier to enhance blade-forward balance, while its razor-sharp twin edges deliver unparalleled precision. The Rosewood handle, adorned with a traditional tassel, is accented by a blackened iron guard and pommel, intricately embellished with Chinese peony filigree, a timeless symbol of grace and strength.
Complementing its grandeur, the Rosewood scabbard mirrors this sophisticated design with detailed chape (scabbard tip), throat, and ring mounts. Measuring 37 ”overall and weighing 42oz, this vividly striking Gim is as functional as it is breathtaking—a treasure for collectors and martial artists alike.
