Handmade Chinese Tang Dao Sword Pattern Steel Hand Forged

Product Details

• The chinese tang sword is made of pattern steel, it features a copper tsuba, black scabbard, black handle and copper fittings.
• The blade has a thick spine to impart impressive durability and rigidity, allowing the sword to cut and thrust with great ability. the wedge-shaped cross section gives the edge a long and sloping cutting plane with which to able sever a target. a thinned false edge on the tip allows for a greater variance of attack angles and minimized drag and resistance in a strike.
• The sword is a cosmetically stunning and eminently functional replica of the type of sword popular during the tang dynasty, which is considered by many scholars to be the high point of chinese civilization.
• The tang dao is an excellent reproduction of the tang military dao. suitable for footman and horseman alike, these dao were intended to be a compact and capable sidearm for tang soldiery and guardsmen. the sword scabbard has the twin-ring suspension system that allows its hanging angle to be tailored to nearly horizontal for cavalrymen – a development that the chinese likely adopted from the cavalrymen of the sassanian empire.
• Please note: the sword stand or holder is not included.
