Niuweidao Oxtail Saber

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

Completed with a solid Ebony hardwood scabbard, beautifully decorative brass fittings, and a matching Ebony hardwood handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective hand-grip.

Prized for collection, and undoubtedly a versatile and formidable Chinese war sword.
