Chinese Dao Sword

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

Both the handle and matching scabbard are hardwood wrapped with brass constructs, infused with Chinese artistry in the form of dragon mythology. Used interchangeably with one or two hands, this Liuyedao sword certainly is a balanced and versatile, cutting, slashing and thrusting Dao weapon. 

A masterpiece of martial functionality, and a presentable piece of fine art.
