    I'm afraid MAM doesn't specialize in high end swords

    The only Damascus piece we offer is the Hanwei Damascus Tai Chi Sword. We carry swords from Dragon Well, Shaolin and Hanwei, but truth be told, this forum doesn't run on higher end pieces. Nevertheless, have you seen our latest import from Dragon Well? The Emperor's Sword has a nice blade, although I'm not that into the fittings personally. For that price point, it's quite serviceable.

    Saw that advertised in the latest issue. Looks interesting. Still I'd like to try before I buy.

    mantis swords?

    I found this one a while back...If i had a grand to spend it looks well worth it. Very much a "practical looking" Jian It's not to fancy with the Hushou and pomell but the blade is grooved and looks to be very nice Damascus steel. Tell me what you guys think. I believe the site is Mantis swords. I'm not sure but this Ming Dynasty sword may be a Hanwei.
