Yanmaodao Sword

The process and technique is renowned for smithing the finest combat sword blades, and certainly forms a unique, and very lethal foundational core to this Chinese Dao sword. 

Further promoting perfection, is the very difficult process of clay-tempering the blade. This process precisely facilitates hardening of the blade’s edge, while leaving the blade’s core and spine softer and thus resilient. Definitely a marker of advanced sword-making technology and visibly identifiable on this sword’s blade. 

Completed with a hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin scabbard, intricately illustrated white-brass fittings, and a hardwood, wrapped with genuine stingray-skin & cord bound handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective hand-grip.

Collectable and presentable, this Chinese war sword is a work of battle functional art, and absolutely a treasure to own.
