A Message from Jin Shi Trading Co.

 At Jin Shi Trading Co., we strive to reinstate the historical roots of Chinese martial arts by offering quality, historically inspired weaponry with an emphasis on swords. The widely available wushu weapons are not acceptable substitutes for real blades. Our products are made with reference to historical literature and fine antiques once handled by adept swordsmen, yet they are affordable to the typical person looking for high quality training aids. 

For the discerning collector looking for a beautiful and functional piece of sword art, we also offer custom forged swords with beautiful laminations like twistcore steel and dramatic folded steel patterns including flowing water and wood burl. Every aspect of these swords can be personalized, from handmade fittings to gold inlays and engravings, resulting in a one of a kind piece of art that will last for generations to come and perhaps even become an heirloom in your family.

Our mission is to promote the underappreciated Chinese/Continental Asian swords and to maintain the interest shown in Japanese swords. We also pass on reliable resources to the collector and martial art communities. We are truly excited to be able to share our passion to enthusiasts around the world. Whether you are a young martial artist looking for your first functional sword or a seasoned collector looking for nothing but the best, we have something to offer you. 

We are currently in set up, but please feel free to contact me with any comments and/or questions. If you would like to keep up to date with any news please send me a quick note and we will add you to my mailing list.

Kind Regards,

Garrett C.
