Xinhua TV news item about Li Jian - 利剑
All in Mandarin, but interesting pics.
As is usual in translation, there are other possible translations besides "Sharp Sword",
"Sharp dagger"
"Sword"
"Li" being an extremely common surname in China with the same character, and 剑 being pronounced exactly the same in Mandarin as 见, the verb "to see"
you could render the UACV's name "Li sees" or create a mashup of Chinglish, and call it "Dagger Lee"
