The Chinese Straight Sword (Jian) is called the "gentlemen of all weapons" in Chinese Martial Arts. It is a double edged sword that's been used for over 2,500 years. In the old days these swords were one handed, but in today's Chinese martial arts there are also two handed swords. The average sword weighs between 1.5 and 2 pounds. The Jian looks like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/73/Jian_%28sword%29.jpg.
