Cold Steel Chinese Two Collar Sea Wave Gim Damascus Blade Burgundy Silk Wrapped Rosewood Handle CS-SW-SEAGIM

The Cold Steel Chinese Two Collar Sea Wave Gim is a striking fusion of traditional Chinese sword design and refined modern craftsmanship, built for collectors and practitioners who value both visual depth and functional heritage. Inspired by classic Chinese gim, or jian-style swords, this piece reflects centuries of elegant, straight-bladed weapon design interpreted through Cold Steel’s disciplined approach to materials and construction. Produced by Cold Steel, it stands as a centerpiece weapon with unmistakable presence.

At its core is a 28.5-inch Damascus steel blade that showcases layered steel patterns along its length, delivering both visual character and proven cutting capability. Damascus construction is prized for its balance of hardness and resilience, and the blade’s clean geometry supports controlled thrusting and precise cutting. The straight profile reflects the gim’s historic role as a scholar’s and officer’s sword, emphasizing finesse, balance, and authority rather than brute force.

The hilt is richly appointed with a burgundy silk wrapped rosewood handle that offers a secure, comfortable grip while elevating the sword’s overall aesthetic. The silk wrap provides subtle texture without abrasion, while the rosewood core adds warmth and strength. Gold-finished fittings accented with black enamel form the guard and pommel, each detailed with traditional Chinese decorative motifs that reinforce the sword’s cultural roots. The two-collar design enhances both visual symmetry and structural integrity at the hilt.

Completing the package is a rosewood scabbard styled to complement the grip, creating a cohesive and refined appearance whether the sword is displayed or stored. The scabbard protects the blade while maintaining the elegant lines expected of a traditional Chinese straight sword.

With an overall length that gives it commanding reach and balance, the Chinese Two Collar Sea Wave Gim is well suited for display, collection, or formal practice. It’s a sword that rewards close inspection, from the flowing Damascus patterns to the detailed fittings and coordinated materials. As with all high-carbon and Damascus blades, proper care is recommended to preserve the finish and prevent corrosion over time.
