Brown Sword Dao

The purpose of this laminate is to utilize the tough, hard and durably sharp cutting edge capability of hard steel, while facilitating additional blade resilience and elasticity with medium steel jackets. A Sanmai laminate is arguably the most battle-effective structural configuration available for real combat, and certainly forms a very lethal foundational core to this Dao Chinese 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 dark, Ebony brownwood scabbard, along with intricate brass sword & scabbard fittings, and a matching Ebony hardwood handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective hand-grip.

Collectable and presentable, this Dao weapon is a treasure to own and a formidable Chinese war sword to use.
