He laid the blade flat, using only one finger to support the part near the hilt, wanting to feel the balance of the sword.
Feeling the blade was balanced, Chen Xin released his hand from the handle, and under gravity, the blade stood upright on his finger with the back of the sword.
This is a characteristic of the Samurai Sword, if forged well, when a finger is placed at the balance point of the blade, it will stand upright under gravity with the backsword, supported by just one finger.
Seeing this black sword standing firmly on his finger, Chen Xin showed a satisfied smile at the corner of his mouth, flicked his finger, and spun the blade to grab the handle.
Waving the sword lightly, Chen Xin couldn't even feel the weight of the blade, as if he was holding a feather.
Yet despite its lightness, the sword didn't give the holder a lightweight feeling; the power transfer from the handle to the tip could still be felt when swinging it.
