THE LK CHEN APPROACH

Not fantasy.
Not approximation.

Each model starts with artifacts, museum records, historic artwork, and measured examples. Modern metallurgy supports the build; the historic object determines its form and character.

FROM ARCHIVE TO BLADE

A weapon begins
with evidence.

The LK Chen process combines artifact research with iterative measurement, production, handling tests, and documented comparison.

01

Research

Surviving originals, archaeological records, period art, and private collections establish the reference.

02

Measure

Blade geometry, distal taper, weight, point of balance, and hilt dimensions are recorded.

03

Reconstruct

Steel, fittings, grip, scabbard, and heat treatment are developed around the historic form.

04

Handle & test

The finished weapon is evaluated as a moving system—not only as a decorative object.
