What is this sword?

here is an example of a maranao made jian.

At first the only thing I knew about this was that it's maranao made.

I was enlightened as to the name of the sword it tries to copy in a previous thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...4&page=1&pp=30.

Hi Zamboanga,

I recognise that sword

But the blade is more wakizashi than a jian.

Even as I didn't ever study chinese MAs, I recall short-edge usage from my deep memories of a lesson from a relative...

Which means that a jian is not only straight but double-edged as well. If I'm wrong, tell me, so I can challange him for a duel with reason.

BTW, nice sword, even if it's short for my taste.
